Mechanisms of growth of shelly crack which proved peculiar to Japan and developed very rapidly on many rails of Sanyo Trunk Line were investigated to establish methods of prevention; extensive, elaborate examinations of track condition, materials quality, loading condition and friction and wearing phenomenon of affected rails were made; statistical analysis of rail and comparative tests performed on track with rails of different qualities are described.
