The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Validation Engineering Division (SIOAC-DEV), was tasked by Military Traffic Management Command-Transportation Engineering Agency (MIMC-TEA) to test a loaded Palletized Loading System (PLS) truck and loaded PLS trailer in a rail shipment configuration to satisfy transportation requirements of general Rule 15(g)8.2 on an HTTX or similar type flatcar. This requirement allows chain securement of the vehicles to the specially-equipped flatcar. These configurations were successfully tested at USADACS on 28 February 1996. This report contains results of the testing.
