In order to know the relationship between the occurrence of flaking leading to the rail breakage and wear of the rail, on-site investigations and analysis of the broken rail were carried out. As a result, it was found out that the occurrence rate of the flaking damage was high at gauge corner side of high rail in moderate curves with radius from 800 m to 1800 m. It was also found that the rail wear in the section where lubrication was applied was about a half of that in the section without lubrication. Moreover, it was found that flaking damage was generated on the running surface or in the close vicinity of the surface of rail head under the condition of repeated loading of shear and tangential forces caused by the rolling contact with wheels. It could be assumed that the balance between the wear and the accumulation of micro-strain or fatigue was a key to occur the flaking damage.
