Abstract:Two full-scale impact tests performed June 4 and June 7, 2002, involved single Budd Company Pioneer-type cab car impacts into a heavy steel coil on a frangible support. For the first test on June 4, a cab car was fitted with a 1990's design front end, and for the second test on June 7, with a state of the art front end. For the 1990's design front end, and for the second test on June 7, with a state of the art front end. For the 1990's design front end, there was a large amount of damage to the corner post, which pulled out of the anti-telescoping plate at the top and sheared away from the buffer beam at the bottom. For the state of the art design front end, the corner post was left permanently deformed with a maximum deformation of 8.25 inches.
