DERAILMENTS 2000-2015

Info to CST and Logistics Analyst

Why Weather and EarthQuakes?

• Ensure Olin railcars do not contribute to derailments or track infrastructure decline– Railcars are flagged for inspection (Bearing damage –

Flooding, Wheel & PRV Earthquake)

• Probability Extreme weather events is high in the Gulf regions, East Coast, and Quakes West

Monitoring GPSSECURITY (Tampering)• Motion detection Image capture• In-transit valve dome access with ImageRIDE QUALITY• Impact Accelerations in G’s• MPH Coupling and Decelerations speed• Image Capture for high impact events

Abnormal Ride Quality

• Short Duration high impact events < 50 ms

• Over-Speed events (7 mph) GPS based

• Vertical or Side events

• Olin Marks these for inspection

• LOGIC to Insert Event into OEHM Alert CUE

Olin’s Intent• Share a RR’s Data with THAT RR• Not share a RRs ride quality data with other RR!!!• Hope/belief RR will use data to fix issues

As a Rule:• Olin will not report individual event to RR. This

avoids RR costs to resolve single events• Share results about systematic problems
