Measurements of dynamic loads at a dipped rail joint; Wrinehill 1971 - Comparison of resilient and conventional wheels (TN-TS-5)

As part of the development process of A.C. locomotives, track forces at a dipped rail joint were measured in a series of tests at Cheddington, in 1970. A comparison was also made with the peak forces induced by other locomotives passing over the same joint. Since the A.L.6 locomotive produced...
