Increasing the speed of passenger trains in existing curves has been proposed as an alternative to changing curve radii for the purpose of reducing trip times on the Northeast Corridor. This test evaluates safety at high cant deficiency by comparing direct wheel/rail force measurements to safety criteria from world-wide sources. Tests were performed on the advanced LRC train with banking coaches and the modern but conventional AEM-7 Locomotive and Amcoach.
