Rail Inspection
Rail is manufactured in different weights; there are different rail conditions (wear, corrosion etc) present; there are a significant number of potential defects possible; and the task has to be performed with some speed to reliably inspect the thousands of miles of track stretching across the land. Sperry Rail Service, one of the country's leading inspector of railroad tracks, has been using specialized test equipment mounted on self-propelled rail cars for over seventy years to protect the safety of passengers and freight. This information provides a brief look at rail inspection.
