Experience in effects of long, heavily loaded, bulk-materials carrying trains on rail life was studied on Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway over past 8 yr of its ore-haul operations; survey is made of types of wear observed such as plastic metal flow, cold working, surface and subsurface metal rupture and metal fatigue developments; analysis of these development indicate that they arise from intimate interrelation of magnitude of wheel-loading to load carrying capacity of rail; remedial measures are suggested.
