The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Association of American Railroads (AAR) have jointly sponsored an experimental program to study the 100-ton covered hopper car with the end objective of improving its safety performance. The total program includes track and laboratory testing of two base vehicles and two prototype vehicles. The report presents the laboratory results of the two base vehicles. The laboratory tests consist of quasi static tests on each truck from both base vehicles and vibration tests of each vehicle on the Vibration Test Unit (VTU) at the Transportation Test Center (TTC) in Pueblo, Colorado.
