A controlled-impact test wheel provides repeatable vertical wheel impact load events to a rail during testing. The test wheel has a generally circular tread with at least one small recessed landing zone having a reduced rolling radius with bordering transition regions to exert a series of vertical impact loads on a rail as the wheel rolls along the rail during testing.
