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. Tests were performed on the F40PH diesel-electric locomotive and an Amcoach modified for banking, with and without the banking system in operation. Safety at high cant deficiency was evaluated by comparing direct wheel/rail force measurements to safety criteria from world-wide sources.
