Tests to investigate effects of lateral forces arising from propulsive effort in train and to determine whether speed restrictions on certain turnouts would have to be reduced for propelled trains; composition of test train was 12 coaches of multiple-unit stock (weight 450 tons) with tractive force provided by two electrodiesel locomotives used as electric locomotives; they weighed 150 tons and developed total of 3200 hp; test records obtained from vehicle were transformed from time basis to distance basis and three samples are reproduced.
