Towards perfected rail maintenance : combining routine and long-term research activities
In 2007 the new grinding strategy with “Malmbanan”, Europe’s only heavy-haul railway, has been presented at the IHHA-conference in Kiruna. Four years later an update was given, as in between some adaptations concerning the target profiles and the metal removal requirements have been introduced. The...
