An analytical model for the prediction of thermal track buckling in dual gauge tracks [PDF]
In rail transport, track gauge is one of the principal factors that condition the passage of trains. For technical and economic reasons, in some circumstances it is necessary to build and operate the so-called dual gauge track, in which a third rail is added to allow operation of trains in two separate gauges.

Influence of gauge width on rail side wear on track curves
The main property of the railway system is infrastructure objects and rollingâ€stock. Holding any kind of a property requires huge expenses and renovation investments. Intensive wearing of the rails on the track curves is observed.
