RAILROAD CAR COUPLING SHOCK, VERTICAL MOTION, AND ROLLER BEARING TEMPERATURE
Data were collected in a study of railroad car operating environment. Measurements were made on wheel bearing operating temperatures, coupling impact shock, and vertical motion of the car due to rail travel. Tests were conducted using an instrumented consist at the Transportation Test Center (TTC) at Pueblo, CO. in July and August 1976.
