TEST OF BRAKE COMPONENTS WHEN RUNNING AT HIGH SPEEDS UP TO 250 KM/H ON THE GUETERSLOH-NEUBECKUM TEST LINE

UNTERSUCHUNG DER BREMSKOMPONENTEN BEI DEN SCHNELLFAHRFAHRTEN BIS 250 KM/H AUF DER VERSUCHSSTRECKE GUETERSLOH-NEUBECKUM

These tests were made with a train consisting of 3 to 8 coaches, hauled by an E 103-118 locomotive. The purpose was to study the behaviour of disc brakes, brake blocks, magnetic rail brakes, anti-skid devices, and locomotive electric and shoe brakes. The article gives the temperatures recorded, braking distances, adhesion ensured, and the operating characteristics of anti-skid devices at very high speeds.
