QUOTATIONS:
“MODERN RAIL-TRACK TECHNOLOGY HELPS TO CUT LIFE CYCLE COSTS”;
“A TRACK IS ONLY AS GOOD AS WHAT IS UNDERNEATH”;
“A TRACK IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS WEAKEST SPOT, BECAUSE A TRAIN MIGHT DERAIL ON SUCH A SPOT”;
“WITHOUT PROPER WELL BEARING AND WELL DRAINED SUB-STRUCTURE (SUBSOIL, SUB-GRADE, FORMATION AND BLANKET) NO STABLE RAIL-ROAD”;
“THE LONGEVITY DEPENDS ON DRAINAGE AND IF THE WATER CAN BE TAKEN OUT AND KEPT AWAY FROM THE TRACK-BED”;
“WATER IS THE ENEMY OF THE RAIL-TRACK”;
“CLEAN AND UNFOLDED BALLAST IS THE BLOOD OF THE RAIL- TRACK”;
“THE GEOMETRICAL PERFECT PRODUCTION OF WELDED RAIL- JOINTS AND THE CORRECT ALIGNMENT OF THE RAILS ARE ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS FOR THE DURABILITY OF WELDED JOINTS”;
”TRACK QUALITY IS NO LUXURY”;
”A LOWER QUALITY TRACK DETERIORATES FASTER THAN A HIGHER QUALITY TRACK AND IS THEREFORE BY FAR MORE COSTLY TO MAINTAIN”;
“A POOR QUALITY TRACK NEEDS MAINTENANCE NEARLY AS EVERY TRAIN GOES”;
“ONE HAS TO MANAGE AND OPTIMIZE EFFECTIVELY THE ALL-IMPORTANT WHEEL – RAIL SYSTEM”;
“WITHOUT SOUND AND HEALTHY RAIL-TRACKS OF HIGH QUALITY, MATCHING THE TRAFFIC-LOAD/VOLUME/SPEED, MODERN RAILWAY SERVICE WITH CLOSE-TO-ZERO MORTALITY RATE IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!”
