METHODOLOGY FOR ALLOCATING LOSS AND DAMAGE TO THE RAILROAD TRANSPORT CYCLE

A methodology for allocating loss and damage costs to various parts of the railroad transport cycle is presented. Specific estimates of loss and damage attributed to line-haul shock and vibration and flat and hump yard coupling impacts are developed. In addition, loss and damage estimates are provided for various levels of overspeed impacts in hump yards.
