Track Compendium

The Track Compendium is intended to serve as a detailed reference work for all those interested in railways. In a clear form it collects data on the track system and at the same time provides an introduction to the issues surrounding track and its design calculation.
The volume gives the reader specialist information in an easy-to-understand way, supported by numerous tables, charts and colour illustrations. In condensed form describes the interrelationships between the individual track components and the stresses and strains to which the track is subject.
