• Abstract:
  This brochure describes the 22 test sections of the Federal Railroad Administration's FAST Track and the various track and mechanical measurements being made as of September 1977 - the end of the first year of operation at the facility. Because of the great time compression possible with the facility, some projects may be completed shortly after publication of this brochure and replaced with others. Before using the contents of this brochure as a basis for future planning, it is advisable to verify the timeliness of the information. Inquiries on the existing FAST configuration and test may be addressed to: ; Director, Transportation Test Center ; Pueblo, Colorado 81001
