A self-contained loop for accumulating load on track. A tangent bypass and a turning loop allow a test consist be re-routed without leaving the facility.
Open FAST® Loop
The Suspension Resonance Track (SRT) evaluates how rail vehicles respond to controlled track perturbations and suspension inputs. Developed to meet modern industry safety requirements, the SRT provides freight and passenger rail operators, manufacturers, and suppliers with a unique opportunity to validate vehicle performance under known and repeatable conditions.
Open Suspension Resonance
The Curving Performance Track (CPT) puts rail vehicles through a demanding range of curves to better understand how they perform under real-world conditions. Running between the east and west tangents of the High Speed Loop, the CPT features curves ranging from 3 to 12 degrees, giving engineers the ability to evaluate vehicle dynamics across a wide range of operating conditions.
Open Curving Performance
The High Speed Loop (HSL) provides a full-scale testing environment for evaluating overall vehicle and system performance at operating speeds up to 110 mph. Purpose-built to support advanced research, technology validation, and qualification testing, the HSL allows engineers to assess how vehicles, infrastructure, and systems perform together under high-speed conditions before entering revenue service.
