  • ENHANCED RAIL GRINDING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220063046
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a first rail grinding machine and a second rail grinding machine can be used to enhance specialized rail grinding. A first rail grinding machine can detect, process, and communicate a portion of track rail needing specialized grinding to a second rail grinding machine that can process and display a detected portion of rail requiring specialized rail grinding and display the portion of rail as a virtual image to an operator. A displayable image allows an operator to perform specialty rail grinding without the need to be physically present at the location for specialized rail grinding.
