Hill-starting a heavy haul train with a 24-axle locomotive

Abstract: Head-end trains are more efficient than Distributed Power trains in terms of train marshalling. This paper studied an unprecedent real-world engineering problem to hill-start a long heavy haul train at a 1.2% up-hill gradient by using a 14400 kW 24-axle AC electric locomotive (maximum traction force 2280 kN). Longitudinal Train Dynamics simulation were conducted to assess five potential driving strategies in terms of train speed and in-train forces. The simulation results show that the locomotive can hill-star… Show more
