Experimental investigation on rail fatigue resistance of track/bridge interaction

•High frequency (20 Hz) bending fatigue tests on UIC60 rails have been carried out.•36 not-corroded and 12 corroded rails were tested up to five million load cycles.•The fatigue resistance reduces with the increase of corrosion.•A new Smith – diagram based on results of three load levels is proposed...
