Abstract: This paper presents results of a validation effort carried out on several analytical models that deals with the dynamic behaviour of railway freight cars. Model validation criteria for the four principal performance regimes - lateral stability, trackability, steady state curve negotiation and ride quality - are developed. The validation criteria and results are discussed in the context of available field test data.
