In this "Letter to the Editor", it is detailed how Chapter 12 of the book "Railway Noise and Vibration: Mechanisms, Modelling and Means of Control", by D. Thompson (with contributions from C. Jones and P.-E. Gautier), Elsevier, 2009, offers a rather incomplete review of the topic of the generation of ground vibrations by high-speed trains, in particular by trans-Rayleigh trains. As a result of this limited review, readers unfamiliar with the history of the problem will gain an incorrect impression of the topic and a rather incomplete knowledge of past work on it. This letter attempts to supply a more appropriate review.
