A preliminary examination of the problems associated with railroad locomotive data acquisition is presented. An approach toward the design of a microprocessor-based locomotive data recorder is also presented. Special attention is placed on determining the functional characteristics and environmental specifications required for the system. The system described consists of a magnetic tape digital data recorder, an ensemble of transducers, and analysis software. The system described is to be used as a research tool.
