Most of the tracks have been constructed many years before, but the demands put on the tracks today are different from the ones when the tracks were built. During the past decades there were major changes in rail. The maximum axle load increased significantly, as well as the train speed (Figure 179), the loco power and the train density. Today more trains are running on the track and the competition with other means of transportation becomes harder. At the same time there is also a tendency towards decreased time for maintenance and also decreased funds for maintenance.
