Abstract
This paper presents the concept of a modified 60E1 rail dedicated to continuous welded rail (CWR) track. The presented solution is the subject of a patent application by the authors of the publication. The paper describes problems associated with the operation of CWR track and the phenomena of so-called “rail stressing”, i.e., stresses created in the rail due to thermal shrinkage that, in extreme cases, can lead to the buckling of the rail track. Simulation calculations of longitudinal track loads to represent the occurrence of thermal force as a result of the occurrence of high air temperatures were carried out for the constructed conventional model of the railroad track as well as the track with the proposed solutions. A discussion of the simulation results is presented, indicating the possibility for the wider application of both varieties of modified rail.
