As a part of the international government-industry program on track train dynamics, the performance of engineers in freight train handling was studied by recording and analyzing train operations and engineer responses under field conditions. Data collection took place during regular revenue freight operations over five representative railroads containing varied terrain and operating conditions. Data collection was accomplished by using a digital data aquisition system specifically designed for this study. Levels of engineer performance were evaluated through the use of an objective rating form specifically designed for this study. Scores on this form were correlated with digitally recorded data.
