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.
"NoLimits Track Packager" [6] allows the user to create a package file containing car-textures, environments and scenery files using a track file. Newton 2 was released on 20 September 2009. [ 7 ] Newton 2 is a NoLimits 1 add-on created by Entropy that allows you to create roller coaster track based on forces rather than shaping; This method of ...
Harsco rail equipment seen in Bradford, Ontario, May 2015. Harsco was founded in 1853 as The Harrisburg Car Manufacturing Company and became the Harrisburg Steel Corporation in 1935. Following a series of acquisitions, the company became Harsco Corporation in 1956, forming three divisions: Metals & Minerals (Now Harsco Environmental), Rail, and ...
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 ...
The simulator is operated from the perspective of a CTC dispatcher. Track diagrams similar to actual CTC displays are provided, and train operations run according to a timetable. Operations can be run in real time or adjusted fast or slow. Version 2 of the software was released in 1997 and supported multiple track territories.

Vehicle simulation games are a genre of video games which attempt to provide the player with a realistic interpretation of operating various kinds of vehicles. The majority are flight simulators and racing games, but also includes simulations of driving spacecraft, boats, tanks, and other combat vehicles.
