The track is composed of several components as presented in previous paragraphs. Each component has a specific function. The track experiences vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal forces, as described in Chapter 12.
These forces influence the functions of the basic components in the track which in turn affect degradation and the failure process. The failure of each component has an effect on the function of other components in the track system (Figure 67).
