>BART does not use resilient wheels. The wheels the Dr. is talking about were tested, but were never used in revenue service.

Thanks. I've always wondered about this.

>At BART, steel tires are shrunk on to solid aluminum centers. Nothing is resilient.

It's the interaction of the low-mass tire with the rigid track structure which produces the corrugations, and the aluminum center in and of itself introduces a degree resiliency in this respect.
