Rail design touted to reduce spreading derailments
A historic rail proposal argues lowering rail height from five and a half to four inches and using a broader base halves derailment risk. The Allendorph design, lighter yet stronger, carries 77 pounds per yard versus 90 pounds, with steel at 25 dollars per ton yielding a $51.76 advantage per ton. Proponent Mr. Allendorph, with twenty years in railroading, seeks adoption by major systems.
