This paper describes a static track model that has been developed to predict rail roll deflections resulting from the wheel/rail forces exerted by a number of adjacent trucks. A particular problem of rail rollover derailments with articulated cars is discussed in order to provide a background to the reason for the model development. Details of the model are described followed by predictions of rail head lateral deflections and fastener vertical loads.
