FEBRUARY 1999 5 ---------- [INTERMODAL MODELING] ---------- IN HO SCALE FROM RAIL POWER PRODUCTS KITS By Ed McCaslin The striking Roadway "ETCS" trailers are becoming a common sight in intermodal traffic. Here's how to kit-con­ 'vert the Rail Power Products kits into exact replicas of the 28-foot FRP trailers. The Roadway artwork is used with the kind permission of Roadway Express, Inc. and may not be reproduced for commercial use.

The front and sides of the prototype would have been a closer match to the A­ Line 50130 FRP Pines-built trailer, but either style trailer would require a con­ siderable amount of modifying to look exactly like the subject of this project. These FRP trailers were rebuilt from old external-post units by Wabash National Corporation for Roadway Express (as illustrated in Brian Kreimendahl's "HO Scale Pines-Built X-Post Wedge Trailers" article in the March 1998 issue of "The Journa!.") The rebuilds are visibly less wedge-shaped than the two models, so the best that I could achieve on this pro­ ject would be a "close" representation . The door details are applied over the pressure-sensitive label as described in the text. I added .020 x .030-inch strip styrene -Ed McCaslin photo inside each door frame side to widen the frame for the trailer number decals. I fi rst removed the molded-on fasteners on each side of the door adjacent to the door frame before adding the .020-inch thick­ ness to the sides. After the cyanoacrylate cement (ACC) was dry, I trimmed the excess styrene with a fi le and tilled the gaps with putty. I formed the handle for the right door frame from .015- inch brass wire. The handle is . 140-inch long and is installed with its bottom edge .200 inch from the top of the tail light housing. / . I notched both of the lower side rails i with a square file at the wheel cutouts and inserted a piece of lower side rail from a spare Rail Power Products trailer into the notches. I also notched the lower center portion of the trailer nose with a square fi le to remove the air and electri­ cal connections from that area of the nose. From the spare shell, I cut a section of nose to the side of the air and electri­ cal hookups, filed it to fit the notch, and glued it in place. The prototype trailer has a slight wedge shape that can be effectively simulated with a combination The air and electrical hookups used of A-Line and Rail Power Products kits.

  • Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation
    © U.S. Department Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation Federal Railroad and Cab W orking Conditions Administration Report to Congress Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance September 1996 stives THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Septem ber 18, 1996 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. President o f the Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear M r. President: I am pleased to submit the enclosed report prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on “Locomotive Crashworthiness and Cab Working Conditions,” as requested by the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act, Public Law 102-365. This report responds to the congressional mandate to report on issues related to: • health and safety of locomotive cab working conditions; • effectiveness of Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specification S-580; and • benefits and cost of additional locomotive crashworthiness features. The report summarizes the findings of FRA’s study, which included research on locomotive crashworthiness features, extensive consultations with a wide range of interested parties, and a field survey of actual locomotive working conditions. These findings indicate that a number of the crashworthiness features and working condition improvements identified in the Act merit further action by FRA in cooperation with the private sector. Identified priority safety improvements include implementation of stronger collision posts and fu ll height corner posts, incorporation of a crash refuge, improved fuel tank design, and improved methods to control noise and temperature levels inside the locomotive cab. Consistent with FRA’s emphasis on promoting a collaborative approach to railroad safety, FRA w ill seek the participation of railroads, employee representatives, manufacturers and suppliers, and other interested persons in determining the specific actions that may be appropriate to advance the safety and health of railroad crew members, based on the results of this study and other information that the parties may make available.

  • Appendices Appendix A
    APPENDICES APPENDIX A Locomotive Remanufacture Mileage Data From AAR, June 1996 (Data for Santa Fe Railway) A-1 APPENDIX B Locomotive Emission Data by Throttle Notch (Note: this appendix not available in electronic version.) B-1 APPENDIX C Calculation of Baseline Locomotive Emission Rates This appendix contains a numerical description of how EPA developed its baseline emission factors. The cycle-weighted emission factors listed here were calculated from the notch data in Appendix B using the respective line-haul or switch duty-cycle. Cycle-weighted horsepower (i.e., the average power used over the cycle) was also calculated. The emission factors were weighted by the product of number of locomotives in the fleet and the average power: ' j (No.)(HP)(EF) EFAVG j (No.)(HP) These weighted average emission factors were multiplied by deterioration factors to be more representative of in-use emissions. The line-haul emissions were determined for two locomotive categories (pre-1991 and 1991-1995) because of the limits of the data set. The emission factors for these two categories were weighted together in the same manner as the individual emission factors.
