Abstract:

This report presents the results of a locomotive and three loaded hopper car consist traveling at 29 miles per hour colliding with a stationary consist of 35 loaded hopper cars. The details of test instrumentation, LS-DYNA finite element simulation, conducting of the test, and correlations between the simulation results and test data are presented. The test was fully instrumented and included high-speed video of the collision event. The test resulted in the override of the locomotive over the hopper car consist.
