Motivated by increase in number of rail head and web separations occurring in paved road crossings and tunnels, which have been attributed partly to effects of corrosion, Norfolk and Western has started practice of flame cleaning and oiling all rails destined for use in such locations; special equipment described has been devised for applying this treatment in effective and economical manner, and somewhat similar equipment has been developed for treating joint bars.
