Novel Design for Passenger Railcar Retention Systems
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: 23FR2Additional passenger fatalities and injuries can occur in rollover-type derailment accidents due to failures of glazing retention mechanisms on passenger railcars. In recent accidents, a key failure mode is shearing off the external rubber gasket that secures the glazing panes as the side of the railcar drags along the ground. Once the gasket fails, the glazing pane is pushed inside, leaving an op ...
