RAILROAD AND RAIL TRANSIT NOISE SOURCES

The railroad or rail transit system design team must predict A-weighted, or preferably, octave band sound pressure levels near passing trains. This is the first step in estimating noise over any area of potential impact and in subsequent selection among noise abatement design alternatives. In this paper recently reported measurements of locomotive and railcar noise emission are reviewed and presented for use in making such design predictions.
