Abstract

The market for new railways, and its associated components, is on the increase. Rail transport for passengers and freight is assuming a role of growing importance. Cost-effectiveness and reduction of polluting emissions are among the main reasons for this. In fact, all technical standards have been reviewed in order to comply with the new demanding requirements. In Kazakhstan, the first rail manufacture is operating in the town of Aktobe, with the new ARBZ state-of-the-art mill for rails and sections. This paper outlines the scenario of rail market, and describes the ARBZ installation, with its most significant technical and process aspects.
