They're saying they want to complete testing at the highest degree of tilt before testing with the weight of a sold out train, as the degree of tilt allowed determines the speed limits around curves. Tilt is only for passenger comfort; the power cars don't tilt. I wonder how the tilting feels in the power cars, as the tilting around some curves in Delaware and Connecticut is definitely noticeable in a cool way.RandallW wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 6:42 pm I'd think they want the full 7" cant testing to be completed before the full seated load testing as the degree of cant allowed determines maximum comfortable speed through curves.Would you be able to explain this in a causal term.
