The rail milling and grinding train is a new generation of rail maintenance equipment that integrates high efficiency, precision, and environmental friendliness. Unlike traditional rail grinding trains, which rely on multiple passes of abrasive wheels to remove surface defects, rail milling trains utilize precision-milled cutting heads that can remove 2–3 mm of rail surface in a single pass. This approach not only significantly enhances operational efficiency and surface quality but also minimizes environmental pollution during operation. Post-milling, the rail exhibits improved geometric accuracy, surface smoothness, and finish—contributing to better train stability, safety, reduced wheel-rail noise, and enhanced passenger comfort. With the rapid expansion of high-speed rail and urban transit systems in China, the rail milling and grinding train is emerging as a critical technology with strong market potential.

With the continuous expansion of railway networks and the increasing frequency of train operations, rail wear and surface defects have become pressing issues. This has driven rising demand for efficient and precise rail maintenance solutions. Rail milling and grinding trains, known for their superior material removal efficiency and environmentally friendly operation, are gradually replacing traditional grinding technologies. While the European market remains the industry leader, particularly with manufacturers such as LINSINGER and Vossloh, Chinese enterprises are catching up rapidly, with domestic production capabilities and technological innovations improving year by year. The global rail milling and grinding train market is expected to continue growing steadily. Countries with large and expanding rail infrastructure, such as China, will see the strongest demand growth. The shift from reactive to preventive maintenance is accelerating, and rail milling technology is becoming standard equipment in comprehensive track upkeep strategies. Future development will emphasize smart technology integration, including multi-functional systems, remote operation, and real-time condition monitoring, further enhancing operational efficiency and safety. Key growth drivers include the ongoing expansion of railway networks, increasing emphasis on safety and ride comfort, and national policies supporting rail infrastructure modernization. However, challenges remain in terms of the high capital investment required, complex technical requirements, and the need for specialized personnel. Moreover, in some regions, the lack of structured and proactive maintenance planning may slow adoption, making industry education and training another area requiring attention.
