According to the principle of the train longitudinal dynamics, the heavy haul longitudinal dynamics nonlinear model is established to analyze the influences of the load distribution pattern and the locomotive position on train longitudinal dynamics. The study of this paper is divided into two parts. The first, train model is composed by a locomotive and six trailers, researching the influences of the load distribution pattern on train longitudinal dynamics, the analysis results show that, the best load distribution pattern is the descending from head to tail of the train, in this case, the coupler force is minimum, and the train longitudinal dynamics is best; the second, train model is composed by two locomotives and five trailers, researching the influences of the position of the locomotive on train longitudinal dynamics. The analysis results show that, if the first locomotive is at the head of the train, then the second locomotives best position is at the end of the train, in this case, the coupler is minimum. But the train longitudinal dynamics performance is the worst with two locomotives are located in the head.
