An examination of the problems associated with railroad locomotive data acquisition is presented. The design of a minicomputer based locomotive data acquisition system is also presented. Special attention is placed on meeting 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 designed as a research tool. The environmental test program and the field test program are also described. (ERA citation 05:027333)
