The report describes evaluative testing of the Roll Dynamics Unit (RDU) at the Transportation Test Center near Pueblo, Colorado. Previous uses of the RDU had been limited to short braking tests, truck stability tests and the transient absorption of power from a transit car. The Dynamometer tests were initiated to demonstrate the viability of the RDU as a dynamometer in testing diesel-electric locomotive tractive performance and brake system safety for extended periods.
