Testing and Simulations for the Development of<br />

New <strong>AAR</strong> Rail <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Fatigue</strong> Design Spectra<br />

For the intermodal car data validation, much more was required<br />

because the predicted lives of well car joints near center of car<br />

determined to do more testing at TTC, and to use the coal car<br />

longitudinal coupler load data for designs in the interim.<br />
