Excerpt from Rail Failures for the Trackman: With Notes on Rail Specifications, Rail Manufacture, and Rail Sections

Too often it is found that the wrong heat num ber has been reported, causing delay until further examination can be made, and this could easily be, avoided by the exercise of a little care on the part of the Foreman.

Rail failures are more numerous in the Winter months, and during severe cold weather the Track man should be especially watchful for signs of fail ures.

Probably every railroad has careful analyses and statistics made of all rail breakages that have been reported, but in many cases sufficient stress is not laid on the absolute necessity for obtaining from the Section Foreman a complete report covering every rail that fails on his section.
