Bridge tests with ČD Cargo

In the spring of this year ČD Cargo received demand from company FIRESTA – Fišer, rekonstrukce, stavby a.s., to provide dynamic load tests and braking tests on a bridge at km 80,930 of route Hohenau – Přerov. Principal investigator of the tests commissioned as a load lifting two types of trains. For the dynamic test, it was: 1 x locomotive Siemens Taurus of type ES64U2 + 9 x Falls type cars + 1 x locomotive Siemens Taurus ES64U2. Braking exam then followed as: 1 x locomotive Siemens Taurus ES64U2 + 1 x Falls type car + 1 x locomotive Siemens Taurus ES64U2. Falls cars had to be loaded on the total weight of 80 tons each. Due to the desired maximum speed of 100 km/h had to be used cars type. 54. Due to the prescribed locomotives type we had to collaborate in implemented testing with Rail Cargo Carrier – Czech Republic. Operations part of exam was organized by the SŽDC employees.

The test itself took place on August 24th 2016. The first was a dynamic test, then the braking test, during which it had set to ramp up the speed and stop at the designated position on the bridge of the prescribed speed. At the conclusion there were "off plan" braking tests with only a pair of locomotives.
