In April 1990 a conference was held at the Cracow Institute of
Technology, Cracow, Poland. The title of that conference was
"Residual Stresses in Rails - Effects on Rail Integrity and
Railroad Economics" and its themes were the measurement and
prediction of residual stresses in rails, but, as the sub-title
suggests, the intention was also to provide a link between research
and its application to the practical railway world. At the Cracow
conference there were 40 participants with 5 railways and 5 rail
makers being represented and 25 papers were given. The Cracow
conference was a success, and by March 1991 its off-spring, "The
International Conference on Rail Quality and Maintenance for Modern
Railway Operations", was conceived and birth was ultimately given
in June 1992 at the Technical University, Delft. It turned out to
be some baby, with 112 delegates from 24 countries taking part! As
with its predecessor, the conference was to provide a forum for the
exchange of ideas between research investigators, rail makers and
railway engineers. A cursory examination of the list of
participants suggests that about 57% were from the railway
industry, 34% from universities and other research institutions and
9% from the steel industry. Bearing in mind that some of the
railway industry participants were from their respective research
and development organisations the balance of interests was about
right.
