Rail vehicle impact facility .: NR16-168/2017E-PDF

"Whether in the yard or along the line, rail vehicles are subject to massive strains and impacts every day. Forces can measure in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. Testing of vehicles, lading and containment systems is essential to ensure they can withstand the stresses of rail transportation and avoid cargo damage. NRC offers a fully instrumented rail vehicle impact ramp to test, certify, and improve performance of rail vehicles, lading and containment systems"--p. [1].
