Section 238.707 - Override protection(a)Colliding equipment.(1) Using the dynamic collision scenario described in § 238.705(a) , anti-climbing performance shall be evaluated for each of the following sets of initial conditions:(i) All vehicles in the initially-moving trainset and initially-standing train consists are positioned at their nominal running heights;(ii) The lead vehicle of the initially-moving trainset shall be perturbed laterally and vertically upwards by 3 inches at the colliding interface; and(iii) The lead vehicle of the initially-moving trainset shall be perturbed laterally and vertically downwards by 3 inches at the colliding interface.(2) For each set of initial conditions specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, compliance with the following conditions shall be demonstrated after a dynamic impact:(i) The relative difference in elevation between the underframes of the colliding equipment in the initially-moving trainset and initially-standing train consists shall not change by more than 4 inches; and(ii) The tread of any wheel of the first vehicle of the initially-moving trainset shall not rise above the top of the rail by more than 4 inches(b)Connected equipment override.(1) Using the dynamic collision scenario described in § 238.705(a) , anti-climbing performance shall be evaluated for each of the following sets of initial conditions: (i) All vehicles in the initially-moving trainset and initially-standing train consists are positioned at their nominal running heights;(ii) One vehicle is perturbed laterally and vertically upwards by 2 inches, relative to the adjacent vehicle, at the first vehicle-to-vehicle interface in the initially-moving trainset; and,(iii) One vehicle is perturbed laterally and vertically downwards by 2 inches, relative to the adjacent vehicle, at the first vehicle-to-vehicle interface in the initially-moving trainset.(2) For each set of initial conditions specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, compliance with the following conditions shall be demonstrated after a dynamic impact: (i) The relative difference in elevation between the underframes of the connected equipment in the initially-moving trainset shall not change by more than 4 inches; and(ii) The tread of any wheel of the initially-moving trainset shall not rise above the top of rail by more than 4 inches.
