The corrugation found at a rail joint which seems to be the initiator of the formation of corrugation is investigated. The possibility that the development of corrugations depends on the magnitude of the traffic is discussed. Several corrugation profiles and roughness spectra were measured. The results indicate that the corrugation can be caused by the start of the locomotives motion at the rail road crossing. Such corrugations were also found in stations at places where locomotives usually start to move.
