This volume covers a test on the Chessie System to collect as much data as possible on parameters suspected of causing SDP-40F derailments. A baseline locomotive, the E-8, considered a stable performer by professional railroad personnel was introduced into the tests for comparison purposes. Also, the SDP-40F was modified to simulate various stages of wear and states of maintenance, and tested after these modifications for comparison with tests run on a locomotive in 'like-new' condition.
