Begging the forgiveness of the modertors (and everyone else)....
The following is posted "for the record" in the hope that should we need this data and information at a later date (especially in discussing Oil Trains!) it will be found useful:
Of particular note the described "Prud'homme Limit" discussing axle loadings and their importance to understand problems with track shift.
The initial study:
USDOT-FRA "Analyses of Track Shift Under High-Speed Vehicle-Track Interaction"
and the more recent followup:
USDOT-Volpe Center "New Track Shift Safety Limits for High Speed Rail Applications"
Also of note:
USDOT-RITA-VNTSC, "Examination of Vehicle Performance at High Speed and High Cant Deficiency"
