The report describes the results of tests to determine the effects of well-defined perturbations of track alignment, gage, and crosslevel on rail car response as a function of speed. The track included a 12-degree curve with high rail alignment and crosslevel variations, a tangent section with sinusoidal alignment variations of different amplitudes and wavelengths, and a 6-degree curve with a section of sinusoid alignment variations and a section with high rail alignment variations. The report includes a description of the behavior of wheel rail forces, developed by a partially loaded 100-ton open hopper car and a 4-axle locomotive.
