Main conclusions reached by means of dimensional analysis given; in strengthening track for carrying of higher axle loads at higher speeds, without change in value of maximum rail stresses, ties must be strengthened in same proportion as rails, but their number per rail may be reduced; ballast resistance need not be changed etc.
