Abstract: The braking energy in diesel-electric locomotives is typically wasted into resistors. A more energy-efficient way is to store and recycle such energy. Thus, this article proposes a multiport ...

Abstract: Low-friction surface conditions significantly contribute to the reduction of the wheel/rail adhesion capability and the occurrence of wheel/rail slipping behaviors, which may lead to the ...

Locomotives rely on sheer mass to create friction. Tens of thousands of tons press steel wheels into steel rails. That contact generates enough traction to move entire cities’ worth of cargo. Tires ...

KINGSTON, N.Y. — A locomotive owned by the Catskill Mountain Railroad caught fire early Thursday morning near Kingston Plaza in the city, the Kingston Fire Department said. In a press release, ...
