Abstract

See full text

An autorack railroad car has a housing surmounting an underframe. The underframe defines a first or main deck. The housing, or “rack” defines at least one additional deck spaced upwardly from the main deck. The housing has end doors. The end doors may be folding end doors, such as a tri-fold hinged door. When closed, the door may be secured by latches at top and bottom. The car may have a dynamic response member, such as a damper, or stop, mounted between one or more panels of the door and the adjacent end of the deck. The dynamic response member may function either to provide damping to the door in vibration, or may function to define a vibration nodal point intermediate the main deck and the roof, or both.
