In order to study the effect of different gust durations on the safety of a high-speed train passing by a wind-break breach at a speed of 120 km/h, the root locus method is used to analyze the suspension modes of the train under different speeds. The original gust is obtained based on the Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) model when the train passes by a 12 m breach between two windbreaks with a normal crosswind speed of 32 m/s. A group of scaling factors for stretching and compressing the time windows is applied to change the gust duration without changing the amplitude. The results show that when the gust duration is close to the natural period of the suspension system, the train responses and derailment coefficient of the train can be amplified. As the attack angles of the first and second wheelset are still in the clockwise direction when overlooking the wheelset, the first wheelset is more vulnerable than the second wheelset. When the gust duration is longer than the natural period of lower sway, the initial fluctuation of the train response can be relieved.
