A collaborative program was initiated in 2001 by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) with a goal of migrating best practices from heavy-haul applications and other operations to U.S. commuter agencies. This program focused on field review of existing practices and the development and validation of improved practices on a working railroad, in this case the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. Improved wheel-rail profiles have been developed and tested, wayside lubrication practices improved, top-of-rail friction modification tested and validated, and a strategic rail grinding program developed and implemented.
