A computer program, the Train Operations Simulator, (TOS), has been developed as part of a program on Track-Train Dynamics and has been extensively used for railroad accident investigations. This computer program simulates the operation of conventional freight trains while providing quasi-dynamic estimates of vehicle coupler forces and quasi-static lateral force computations. A description of the Train Operations Simulator, its features and its limitations, is given. Means of applying the simulation model to railroad accident investigations are described and case studies of accident investigation simulation are presented and discussed. (Hannebauer)
