          <dc:description>Innovative methods of enhancing the stability of tamped track and sharp curved track are recommended according to the theoretical findings from this research. Using the innovative methods, railroads can eliminate or reduce slow orders following tamping or track surfacing to improve railroad productivity.</dc:description>
