1)  During this period the track structure has been substantially improved. One of the greatest improvements was the elimination of rail joints.

2) Another improvement which has made it possible to increase speeds on railways is the use of concrete sleepers. Thus in some countries , concrete sleepers have replaced wooden ones on heavily used main lines because of their advantages.
