Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1825 examines the risk of derailment in the transportation of hazardous materials, the effect of heavy axle loads on the fatigue life of steel bridges, and strategies for improving the crashworthiness of rail passenger equipment. This issue also focuses on the precast span method of constructing high-speed rail bridges in Korea and on the pricing of commuter, intercity, and freight train service. The papers contained in this volume were among those presented at the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2003. For abstracts of some of the papers see C 32109 - C 32117.
