Economic Development Impacts of High Speed Rail [PDF]
This paper reviews the state of high-speed rail (HSR) planning in the United States c. 2010. The plans generally call for a set of barely inter-connected hub-and-spoke networks. The evidence from US transit systems shows that lines have two major impacts.

New Measurement Methods for Transition Resistance of Rail Tracks in Urban Rail Transit
Chengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu[Objective] To analyze the impact of stray currents on buried pipelines and electrical equipment during metro operation, it is necessary to study new measurement methods for the transition resistance of rail tracks in urban rail transit. [Method] The principle of measuring rail track transition resistance is introduced.

SMOOTH TRANSITION INSULATED RAIL JOINTS
, 2022 Insulated Railway Joints fail mainly because of repeated shocks in the end post region causing loss of insulation (lipping) and eventually leading to broken rails and train derailments. Qualification tests are inadequate as they do not replicate impact loads. A patented joint named ABJ, made of switch rails forged with a very shallow inclined cut and a
