Abstract:

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) in conducting impact tests between a Budd M1 Car and a F40 locomotive to evaluate the performance of both vehicles under dynamic conditions. This set of impact tests were performed on November 18 and 19, 2015, at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO. The M1 car was impacted by the locomotive at 1.89, 3.86, 5.67, 7.89, 9.95, and 11.86 mph. The most substantial damage that occurred during the tests was inflicted upon the M1 car, with the F40 locomotive sustaining no noticeable damage. The most significant damage to the M1 was the buckling and cracking of the side sills, but the draft pocket and draft gear did show deformation after these tests.
