[Solved] Grinding Rail grinding is a maintenance activity ...
Rail profile correction through grinding can extend the life of rail up to 2.5 times (average of curve and tangent track life extension). The new thrust of grinding is to "gently" preserve the state of the top layer of the rail. The more a railway catches up with surface fatigue, the more conformal they can grind the rail to the average worn wheel.
