The technical feasibility of a rapid rail car operating from a 3-phase, 4160-v, 60-Hz source and using alternating current traction motors and solid-state power conversion devices was successfully demonstrated. The system: Operated at speeds to 82 mph; accelerated and decelerated in excess of 2.8 mphps; demonstrated infinitely variable motoring and braking control; demonstrated regenerative braking by returning 25 percent of the energy to the supply for a 2.3 mile, 45-mph average speed run.
