| Abstract | Recently, the Steering Committee on Full-Scale Multipurpose Wheel/Rail System Testing, which includes representatives from the National Research Council (NRC), Transport Development Centre (TDC) of Transport Canada and the major Canadian railways, proposed that a facility capable of testing a full-scale standard gauge freight car wheelset, and associated brake rigging, over a realistic range of environmental conditions be designed and built.
This report details the design specifications and acceptance tests for such a full-scale multipurpose wheel/rail test facility. |
