Hazardous Material Releases Due To Unsecured Openings and Lining Failures - Volume II (Appendices)

In response to the large number of unintentional releases of hazardous materials from railroad tank cars for which accidents were not the cause, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) initiated this study to (1) recommend procedures to ensure that tank car appurtenances are properly maintained...

Freight Car Fatigue - Coal Car Simulator Demonstration Test

A full scale fatigue test of a 100-ton coal gondola car on the Transportation Test Center's (TTC) Simuloader facility was successfully completed recently. With a short test encompassing 270 hours of Simuloader testing, the freight car was subjected to fatigue damage equivalent to 600,000 miles of...

Double Stack Container Systems: Implications for U.S. Railroads and Ports - Final Report

This study assesses the potential for domestic double-stack container transportation and the implications of expanded doublestack systems for railroads, ports, and ocean carriers. The study suggests that double-stack service can be fully competitive with trucks in dense traffic corridors of 725...

Assessment of the Potential for Magnetic Levitation Transportation Systems in the United States

Surface and air travel are projected to double from 1988 levels early in the 21st century. Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a relatively new transportation technology, which has the potential to alleviate growing highway and airway congestion, particularly in high-density intercity corridors. Maglev...
