Abstract
Objective: To reduce side wear of rail elements of side track backing-up rail. Methods: Comparative and computational methods were applied in the study. Results: It was detected that in order to extend the pointwork turnout curve service life, it is necessary to reduce the side impact on an outer rail by using rail pads of diverse elasticity. Practical importance: Application of rail pads of diverse elasticity under the outer and inner rails of a pointwork turnout curve makes it possible to increase the speed of rolling stock movement on the side direction of pointwork and increase the life of a pointwork turnout curve with fixed train speed.
