This note reports a preliminary statistical study of rolling resistance data from ConRail’s Elkhart, Indiana yard October 25 and 26, 1978 by Messrs. Jim Wetzel, Jack Delancy and Gerald Brubaker of ConRail. The data consists of three separate test runs of cars switched over the hump and rolled into a single destination class track. The analysis considers car specific variables such as Weight and Length, as well as data regarding the yard to develop predictions of rolling resistance.
