Abstract:

We present technical parameters and characteristics of a threeunitarticulated railcar for special car shipping and compare them with those of SQ5 and SQ6 auto rack car. We further calculate and analyze loading effect of threeunitarticulated railcar for the shipping of different lengths of cars.We eventually perform qualitative and quantitative analysis from its effective utilization rate, saving of marshalling trains and income. Results indicate that the threeunitarticulated railcar can achieve better practical application effect, which provides decision support for the popularization and application of threeunitarticulated railcar.

Key words: railcar, threeunitarticulated, application effect, car shipping special vehicle
