This paper presents an algorithm for probabilistic analysis of the continuous welded rail (CWR) track buckling. The main parameters which govern the stability of the CWR track present a great variability. This variability is introduced in the computational model by the statistical distribution of the parameters. The algorithm is based on the evaluation of convolution integrals in a discrete approach using the histograms of the main parameters which characterize the stability of the CWR track.
