Since the adoption of 286,000 lb gross rail load (286K GRL) car service, an increase in wheel thermal damage and shelling has been observed. This is attributed to the increased braking horsepower in 286K GRL service as compared to the 263K GRL servic

Given the frequent incidences of Non-Accident Releases (NARs) of hazardous materials from tank cars, there in an increasing interest in transporting hazardous materials in total containment conditions (i.e., no pressure relief devices). However, the

The current freight railroad operations are restricted to a maximum speed of 80 mph partly due to lateral instability of conventional freight trucks at higher speeds. The three-piece truck, a workhorse of the railroad industry for over 100 years, and
