Both the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing surplus power available from the diesel engine, by adhesion-independent thrust boosters were reviewed. First the power available for thrust boosting was determined. Then several linear motor reaction railconfigurations were considered. A preferred thrust booster configuration (Figure 1-1) which utilizes the running rails as the secondary member, was described. It was found that 6000-lb force per locomotive, at 12 to 13 mph train speed can be delivered by such a thrust booster. (Author)
