They are made of steel and are sometimes manufactured using durable rail steel. They can be used to support various types of wire or wire mesh. The end view of the post creates an obvious T, Y, or ...

    The origin of the term arris is from the Latin arista, meaning the beard or the ear of grain or the bone of a fish. See also arête. An arris rail is a structural element, whose cross section is a 45 degree isosceles right angled triangle. Arris rails are usually made of wood, and are manufactured by cutting a length of square-section timber ...

  6. Adhesion railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_railway

    Adhesion traction is the friction between the drive wheels and the steel rail. [1] Since the vast majority of railways are adhesion railways, the term adhesion railway is used only when it is necessary to distinguish adhesion railways from railways moved by other means, such as by a stationary engine pulling on a cable attached to the cars or ...

  7. Wheelset (rail transport) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelset_(rail_transport)

    The rails generally slant inwards at 1 in 40, a lesser angle than the wheel cone. Without the conical shape, a wheel would tend to continue in a straight path due to the inertia of the rail vehicle, causing the wheelset to move towards the outer rail on the curve. The cone increases the effective diameter of the wheel as it moves towards the ...

  8. Wheel slide protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_slide_protection

    “Low adhesion” on the rail potentially causes damage to train wheels and the rails. Typically, low adhesion conditions are associated with environmental causes arising from seasonal leaf fall, or industrial pollution. Occasionally, the cause can be another less obvious factor such as light oxidation of the railhead or even swarms of insects.

  9. Rubber-tyred metro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-tyred_metro

    A rubber-tyred metro or rubber-tired metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road and rail technology. The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires that run on a roll way inside guide bars for traction. Traditional, flanged steel wheels running on rail tracks provide guidance through switches and act as backup if tyres fail ...
