Various measures for prevention of rail end fracture caused by corrosion fatigue cracking were examined by field tests; in preliminary test, 25 measures for prevention of corrosion were examined in tunnels under steam traction; considering test results, 4 measures were selected for life test; life test results showed that in tunnel, in which mean life of nontreated rail was only 3 yr, that of shot-peened rail covered with zinc metalicon was elongated up to 5 or 6 yr.
