Definitions

  • This invention relates to the improvement of railroad track performance by the increase in cant of the high rail of a section of curved track.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a way in which failure of rails due to internal rail defects, primarily shelling, may be reduced or eliminated, and secondarily to improve wear characteristics of rails.
  • a shell is a horizontal separation of the metal of the rail head, in a plane usually between one-eighth and one-half of an inch below the top surface of the rail head, forming generally on the gauge corner of outer rails of curves.
  • the separation generally begins at a length of less than an inch, then grows longitudinally along the rail, and at a length of four to six inches, the metal above the separation occasionally spalls off, creating a hazardous condition.
  • the present inventors Upon further analysis of the rail contour cards which have been accumulated through the years, the present inventors have discovered that the top surface of new outer-curve rails of Western Pacific trackage, canted at the standard 1 in 40 cant, wears in such manner that the slope of the top surface increases an additional 245, and that such increased slope remains constant as the rail is subjected to further wear. Furthermore, it has been found that the additional 245 slope, created by rail wear, is substantially independent of the degree of curvature of the track.
  • the wear conditions on W stern Pacific curved trackage can be considered to be the same as that throughout the country, since the cars being run over Western Pacific trackage are a cross section of all of the cars in service in the country, and the average wheel condition of these cars is also an average of the wheel condition of the cars in service throughout the country.
  • the inventors have further realized that shelling is caused primarily by concentrated wheel loads on outercurve rails, and that such shelling can be greatly alleviated by the reduction in load concentration on the rails.
  • the present inventors have discovered that the load concentration on outer-curve rails results from an improper canting of such rails, and that rail performance can be improved by canting the outer-curve rail an additional 245 from the normal 1 in 40 cant, and that this additional cant will be the same for curved trackage throughout the country. With this increased cant, the wheel load will be distributed over a much greater top area of the rail, thereby reducing the load concentration on the gauge corner where shelling now occurs.
  • FIG. 1 is a generally diagrammatic illustration of a typical section of a railroad track system.
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view, partly in section, of a way in which the cant of the high rail on a curved section of track is increased in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a standard tie plate shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the tapered shim shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 is an elevational view, partly in section, of a modification of the invention, wherein the cant of the high rail on a curved section of track is increased in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic illustration of a new railroad wheel riding on a new section of tangent rail which is canted at the standard 1:40 cant.
  • FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic illustration of an averagely worn railroad wheel riding on a new section of tangent track which is canted at the standard 1:40 cant.
  • FIG. 8 is a diagrammatic illustration of an averagely worn railroad wheel riding on the high rail of a new section of curved track which is canted at the standard 1:40 cant.
  • FIG. 9 is a typical contour of a section of the high rail of a curved track section which is canted at the standard 1:40 cant, with the upper dotted line illustrating the contour of the rail when new, the full line illustrating the contour of the rail after it has been subjected to normal wear, and the lower dotted line illustrating the rail contour after it has been subjected to further wear.
  • FIG. 10 is a diagrammatic illustration of an averagely worn railroad wheel riding on an averagely worn high rail of a curved track section which is canted at the standard 1:40 cant.
  • FIG. 11 is a diagrammatic illustration of an averagely worn railroad wheel riding on a new high rail of a curved track section wherein the cant of the high rail is increased in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates in general a typical track system having rails 11 and 12 secured to ties 13.
  • the track has a tangent section 14, a spiral, or run-01f, section 15 of decreasing radius, a curve section 16 of constant curvature, a spiral or run-01f section 17 of increasing radius and a tangent section 18.
  • the rail 11 is the inner-curve rail and the rail 12 is the outer-curve rail.
  • FIGS. 6-11 illustrate the manner in which the present invention has been discovered and by which the proper cant of the outer-curve rail has been determined.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a new wheel 20 running on a new rail 12 of tangent track.
  • the wheel 20 has a standard 1 in 20 slope of the coned tread 21 thereof.
  • a standard tie plate 22 is spiked to tie 13 and has a rail seat 23 which is canted at a standard 1 in 40 cant to seat the rail 12 thereon.
  • the top surface 24 of rail 12 will accordingly be sloped at a l in 40 slope downwardly towards the center of the track.
  • the flange 26 of wheel 20 is away from the gauge corner 27 of the rail and the center of bearing of the Wheel, indicated by the arrow, is near the center line of the canted rail.
  • FIG. 7 shows a worn wheel 20' running on a new rail of tangent track at a l in 40 cant.
  • the contour of the wheel 20 is a composite average of the contours of all wheels running on track, from new wheels to those worn to a degree at which they are to be replaced.
  • the flange 26 of the wheel is away from the rail and the center of bearing, indicated by the arrow, coincides with the center of the rail, showing the correctness of canting the rail to a slope of l in 40 on tangent track.
  • the wear of the top surface of rail 12 will be produced by the contacting portion of the worn tread 24' and the top rail surface 12 will be worn so that the contour remains the same, namely, so that the top surface will remain at a 1 in 40 cant.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a worn wheel 20' running on a new outer-curve rail 12, at a standard 1 in 40 cant. Centrifugal force causes the flange 26' of the wheel to press against the side 25 of the rail head. Under such condition, the center of bearing, indicated by the arrow, is near the gauge corner 27. As will be noted, this hearing condition, typical of outer-curve rails, shows the standard cant of such rails to be incorrect, in that wheel loading is concentrated at the gauge corner of the rail.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates the typical rail contour of a worn outer-curve rail 12', at a standard 1 in 40 cant, as determined from the previously-mentioned rail contour cards.
  • the original contour of the top surface of the rail is indicated by the dotted line 24.
  • the top surface 24' of the rail has been unsymmetrically worn, and such wear increases the slope of the worn top surface 24 by approximately 245 from the original slope thereof.
  • the top surface of the rail will wear to a contour as indicated by the dotted line 24".
  • the slope of the top surface 24" remains the same as that of the partially worn top surface 24, namely, at an angle of 245 relative to the original contour of the top surface. It has been found that the 245 wear of the top surface is measurable at about one-quarter of the wear life of the rail and that the slope remains constant for the remaining life of the rail.
  • lines 24 and 24 represent the amount of metal worn from the outercurve rail and shows that the wear has been produced by a concentration of the wheel load in the vicinity of the gauge corner, where shelling primarily occurs. Such load concentration on the gauge corner causes fatigue in the rail head that leads to early failure.
  • FIG. illustrates a worn wheel running on a worn outer-curve rail 12, showing the manner in which the wheel has worn the rail to a contour as shown in FIG. 9, due to the fact that the wheel load has been concentrated in the vicinity of the gauge corner.
  • FIG. 11 illustrates the use of the invention and shows a worn wheel 20 running on a new outer-curve rail 12.
  • the standard tie plate 22 has been replaced by a tie plate 22 having a rail seat 23 having an additional 245 slope to the normal 1 in 40 slope. In this manner the slope of the top surface 24 of the rail is increased 245 over the standard cant thereof.
  • wheel flange 26 still presses against the side surface of the rail head, but the top surface 24 of the rail conforms much more close- 1y than before to the shape of the worn wheel tread 21, and the center of bearing of the wheel has moved from the vicinity of the gauge corner towards the center line of the rail.
  • the increase of cant of outer-curve rails can also be accomplished by the use of tapered inserts 30, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • the insert 30, which could be of rubber, plastic, steel or wood, would be tapered to the proper degree, namely, about 245.
  • the insert 30 would preferably be shaped to the size of the standard tie plate 22, and would be perforated, as at 31, in the same locations as the tie plate holes 32, for the standard spikes 33.
  • the spikes are pulled, the insert 30 is put under the tie plate 22 and the tie plate and insert are respiked.
  • tie pads under tie plates on curves and frequently on tangent track. These are fiat pads of some resilient material, usually coated with an adhesive material that bonds to the tie.
  • the purpose of such tie pads is to exclude abrasive matter from the contact area between the tie plate and tie, and to prevent wear and crushing of the wood fibers.
  • FIG. 5 Yet another manner in which the desired canting can be achieved is illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein the tie 13' is adzed to provide a sloping seat 36 for a standard tie plate 22 at one end, the seat being sloped at the desired 245 angle.
  • the inner-curve rail 11 would be positioned at the normal 1 in 40 cant, while the cant of the outer-curve rail 12 would be increased 245 over the standard cant.
  • the adzing of the sloping tie plate seat 36 could be done in the field, but preferably should be done at the mill for closer control of the slope of the seat.
  • concrete ties can be made as in FIG. 5, with a normal tie plate seat at one end and a sloping tie plate seat for the desired increase in cant.
  • a special contour rail could be rolled so that when seated in a standard tie plate the head of the rail would have the desired additional slope.
  • the increase of cant is to be applied to the outer-curve rail only.
  • the rail 11 would have a normal 1 in 40 cant throughout the system, including the curved portion thereof.
  • the rail 12 would also be at a standard 1 in 40 cant in the tangent sections 14 and 18, but would have an increased cant in the spiral and constant curvature sections 15, 16 and 17.
  • inserts 30 of lesser degree can be used at the run-oft of each end of the curved section of the rail.
  • tapered inserts of 45 could be used for about one rail length, and then tapered inserts of 145 could be used for another rail length in order to provide a transition from the standard 1 in 40 cant to the additional 245 cant.
  • the breakover between types of inserts should occur at mid-rail.
  • the invention described above has been discussed in particular connection with track systems wherein such systems are used by cars of all lines. However, there are also instances in which a different amount of cant may be optimal. For example, there are many private lines wherein a railroad may haul coal in its own heavy-weight cars, on which the wheels are permitted to wear more than is permitted by ICC regulations, and in which speeds of trains are very low. However, in such specialized situations, the present invention is just as applicable.
  • the proper cant would be determined by obtaining rail contours of outer-curve rails so that the slope of the worn rail (produced by the average worn wheel of the cars using the system) can be compared with the original slope of such outer-curve rail. The increase in slope of the worn rail would then indicate the amount to which the outercurve rail should be additionally canted.
  • the present invention was primarily evolved in connection with the elimination of shelling in hardened rail, but this is not the limit of the benefits that can be realized therefrom. It is expected that the resistance to wear in hardened rail will be much improved, and the resistance to shelling and wear in unhardened rail will also be improved. Where relayer rail released from tangents is laid in curves, either flame-hardened or merely as work-hardened, the benefits to be derived will be comparable.
  • the additional canting of the outer-curve rail will also reduce the normal plastic flow deformation of the rail because of the de-concentration of wheel loading thereon. This will then enable the outer-curve rail, when worn to its permissible extent, to be relaid as the inner-curve rail.
  • the increase in cant will be less than that required of a now standard 1 in 40 canted rail, but the total amount of cant will be the same, i.e., a cant of 1 in 40 plus the 2%
  • the 7 term standard cant is intended to include the present standard cant of l in 40 as well as the cants in common usage, unless the term is specified as being a standard 1 in 40 cant.
