Abstract:

The development of high-speed railroad corridors in the United States is being considered by Congress as a fuel efficient and economical alternative to air or highway passenger travel. The exisiting infrastructure is, in many ways, suitable for freight traffic but not for the more exacting geometry standards of high-speed rail passenger trains. In many cases the proposed passenger service would use existing trackage hertofore carrying only slower moving freight trains (e.g., the newly opened service on the Northern New England Corridor (The Downeaster) between Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine). Instability in the roadbed can cause changes in track geometry at a rate unacceptable for safe or econmical high-speed operation over existing lines. This project was conducted to demonstrate that existing ground stabilization techniques could be utilized to economically improve track performance for high-speed service.
