Research on corrosion conducted by various investigators and rail-wear data obtained by British Railways Research Dept Staff using contourograph are reviewed; influence of steel composition, axle load, braking, and lubrication were studied; study shows that life of continuous welded rail is affected to greater extent than jointed rail.
