The purpose of this study was to examine the potential safety hazards to existing rail traffic operating in the Northeast corridor from aerodynamic loads generated by the Acela Express high-speed passenger train. Several scenarios have been examined here with the objective of assuring the safety of both Acela Express and other trains operating on adjacent tracks. Three scenarios were considered: (1) the derailment of a freight container consist when passed by Acela Express, (2) the breaking loose or dislodgement of shipping containers from the freight container car and, (3) the breaking or blow-out of windows in a passenger train when passed by Acela Express.
