At a serious rail corrugation line along Beijing metro Yi-zhuang line, one experiment of controlling rail corrugation has done. Based on the test and analysis of rail vibration decay rate, rail surface roughness and vibration acceleration on the rail and track bed before and after install TRD, it is concluded that install TRD on rail waist could improve rail damping, enhance rail vibration decay rate, speed up vibration wave propagation decay in the rail, reduce the vertical vibration of rail and track bed, and control the development of rail corrugation.
