A track geometry car (also known as a track recording car) is an automated track inspection vehicle on a rail transport system used to test several parameters of the track geometry without obstructing normal railroad operations. Some of the parameters generally measured include position, curvature, alignment of the track, smoothness, and the ...
Fairmont merged with Harsco Corporation in 1979 to become part of Harsco Track Technologies (Harsco Rail in 2009). [1] Fairmont products included: internal combustion engines such as the PHB and QB [3] models; maintenance of way vehicles such as speeders, small derrick cars, small shipping vehicles such as combination platform cars, etc.
Sperry Rail Service Vehicle. Dr. Elmer Sperry began developing a method of locating internal rail defects in 1911. To build a railway test car, he contracted the American Railway Association in 1927. Construction on this first car began in June 1927. The body was metal-faced plywood, and was mounted on a Kalamazoo motor car bed. This car was ...

This can be thought of as the plan view which is a view of a 3-dimensional track from the position above the track. In track geometry, the horizontal layout involves the layout of three main track types: tangent track (straight line), curved track, and track transition curve (also called transition spiral or spiral) which connects between a ...
A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
BVE Trainsim (originally Boso View Express [1] [2] [3]) is a Japanese three-dimensional computer-based train simulator. [3] It is notable for focusing on providing an accurate driving experience [3] [4] [5] as viewed from inside the cab, rather than creating a network of other trains [6] [7] —other trains passed along the route are only displayed as stationary objects.
