What is Modern Derailment Investigation Guide about?
Derailment is defined as a wheel or set of wheels leaving the rail top surface. There are two types of derailments: sudden and gradual. In a gradual derailment, the wheel flange climbs gradually up the rail surface. The mechanism of derailment occurs when a wheel fails to follow the longitudinal rail geometry due to lateral forces, causing it to lift and move across the rail head and drop outside. Derailments are investigated by examining marks left on rails, sleepers and ballast to determine the potential
