Abstract:This memorandum summarizes the development and use of the
Draft Buff Indicator, a prototype system for sensing, recording,
and displaying freight train "slack action" or inter-car
movement. The prototype, developed by the Transportation
Systems Center as part of the International Government Industry
Research Program on Track Train Dynamics, has been use-tested
by four major railroads. This memorandum describes the basic
design of the system, the railroads' experiences with it, and
the prognosis for future use. A more detailed description of the system may be
found in Report No. DOT/ORD-77-53 entitled "Development of a
System to Display and Record Slack Action in Freight Trains."
