This computerized model is a train performance calculator (TPC) program which simulates the operation of a passenger train over a rail route. The input for the program is the track data for the route, the characteristics of the locomotive, the type and number of cars, and the number of passengers. The output from the TPC is in the form of tables showing speed, time, and fuel used; and in the form of graphs showing speed, time, and fuel used versus distance travelled. The TPC has been in use for two years to study the energy intensity of AMTRAK trains in the New York to Buffalo corridor...Software Description: The program is written in the BCL programming language for implementation on a Burroughs B5700 computer using the MCP MARK XVI.0.178 operating system. 96K bytes of core storage are required to operate the model.
