Abstract – Development oriented train department are introducing newly developed train systems which are more attracted towards luxury, speed and performance. This leaves a big focus on the running trains which running on old systems. There are various parameters that can be changed to make the ongoing train systems work in a much better way. The ground borne vibrations that are produced due to rail vibrations creates harmful effects on the nearby areas. Though there is a progressing development in new upcoming track systems, there should be improvements in the running track systems as well. This research tries to introduce and solve the vibration related issues by replacing a new rail pad material called sorbothane which is very well known for reducing vibrations. This will be a comparison study of vibration transfer through different absorbing pads in 1:√5 prototype as well as on field which will directly aim towards the reduction to further borne vibrational effects. Thus this study will clarify the most suitable vibration absorbing material.

Keywords- vibration absorbing pads, ground borne vibrations, rail track, rubber pads, sorbothane.
