• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the quasi-static compressive end-load test at 800,000 pounds performed on Budd Pioneer Car 244. The car complies with 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 238.203 because it resisted the test loads with no significant permanent deformations of the body structure. All measured strains were below the yield strains of the materials on which strain gages were installed.
