The highlights of a paper dealing with train resistance are cited. Principally historical, the paper points out that the use of the mobile testing units and a statistical method of analysis adopted, has enabled the running resistance, including wind resistance of carriage and wagon stock, to be determined with a convenience and accuracy not hitherto possible.
