Stray Current / Corrosion Control Documents
This is a collection of conference papers and reports on the topic of stray current protection for streetcars that may be helpful in the development of recommended practices for corrosion control as well as track design. The suite contains the following papers:
Minahan R. J., “Stay Current Mitigating Procedures,” 1989 Rapid Transit Conference of the American Public Transit Association,” Pittsburgh, PA, 1989.
Rhoads, A D, and Touryan G, “A Modern Approach to Electrolysis Mitigation for an Old Yard and Shop”, Proceedings of the 1996 Rapid Transit Conference of the American Public Transportation Association, 1996.
Nixon Terry, “Control of Stray Current on the MARTA Line,” Proceedings of the 1996 Rapid Transit Conference of the American Public Transportation Association, 1996.
Dinolfo M, “Rail-to-Ground Voltages from Heavy-Rail Traction Power Systems: Causes, Effects, Predictive Approaches, Limits, Criteria,” Commuter Rail / Transit Conference Proceedings, American Public Transportation Association, 2002.
Wetzel, E A, and Fuller H, “Stray Current Control Using the Rail Boot,” Commuter Rail / Transit Conference Proceedings, American Public Transportation Association, 1999.

AREMA Manual Documents
APTA has joined with AREMA in support of the development of urban transit track recommended practices. These recommended practices will ultimately become a part of the AREMA manual on standards. To facilitate working group member support, AREMA has made available to APTA the following documents from the AREMA manual. Only those pre-approved will be permitted to download these AREMA documents for the express purpose of supporting development of track standards. No other use of these documents is permitted. AREMA retains its copyright.
If you believe you need to view these documents in support of recommended practice development, please contact Martin Schroeder, P.E. at APTA (719-439-4640, email: mschroeder@apta.com).
