Posted by New Brunswick Station on Thu Oct 12 00:11:36 2006, in response to NJT Comet VI multilevels preview at NWK tomorrow, posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Oct 10 22:00:00 2006.  Training and Testing Protocols  "Why all the sandbags and water barrels? As part of NJ Transit's ongoing dynamic testing program, hundreds of sandbags and water barrels have been placed aboard rail cars to simulate the weight of a full load of passengers. Each car is loaded with up to 820 sandbags weighing 50 lbs each. Water barrels are used in conjunction with sandbags to provide weight for testing under maximum stress levels. The simulated weight enables NJ Transit and the manufacturers to test the cars' performance in breaking, acceleration, speed, and ride quality under real-world conditions and ensure that all performance, safety, and comfort standards are met." |
