Rail Flange Noise and Other Matters

The BCCT is associated with the Cowan Rail Noise Steering Committee, exploring options for reducing rail noise on Sydney railways.  They have just advised us that they are planning a meeting in Cowan on Monday, 5 December 2011, 10:00 am – 12 noon, at the Cowan Community Centre, located at Cowan oval at the end of Chandler Ave Cowan.
Given the rather short notice and distance involved, so far no member of the BCCT committee is able to attend.  If any BCCT member interested in this problem wishes to go as an observer, please contact secretary@2119.org.au to discuss.
Meanwhile a recent article on the net describes very well the technical aspects of the problem.  http://www.abc.net.au/rn/ockhamsrazor/stories/2011/3317389.htm.  Good reading about the whole problem of rail vs road, especially for freight.
