Based on the responses recieved for the long powered questionnaire four were (4) dc- transit agencies narrowed down for detailed interview Transit agencies that have submitted a completed questionnaire Consultants interviews (consultants that are providing corrosion services) Location of the transit system (weather and geographic conditions) Age of the transit system Type of transit system (3rd rail, 4th rail, OCS, LR, HR, embedded track) Corrosion issues/problems to-date and on hand Number of utility lines being affected by the corrosion problem Stray current control methodology Agency stray current control and mitigation guidelines/manuals Agency monitoring approach Agency testing and maintenance approach Knowledge and experience of the staff with stray current issues Limiting values for track-to-earth resistance Measures adopted to mitigate stray current corrosion Historical corrosion repair data Targeted Transit Agencies Iteration process If number of transit agencies selected are acceptable to TRB panel and that the agency is willing to participate Name the transit agency/agencies Yes No Note: Transit agencies selected include an old, a new, one international, and one under construction rail transit system. Provided they have either encountered stray current corrosion in the past and/or are currently dealing with one
