Tests were conducted to study shearing stresses in rail head and subsoil, flexural tensile stresses at rail head, and guiding efforts; results showed that increased axle pressures and reduced wheel radii give rise to higher stresses in rail head; if permissible shearing stress is exceeded, fatigue fractures occur in rail head; this can be counteracted by using steel of greater strength and purity.
