This report presents a methodology for allocating loss and damage costs to various elements of the railroad transport cycle. Estimates of loss and damage attributed to linehaul shock and vibration and flat and hump yard coupling impacts are provided. In addition, loss and damage estimates are provided for various levels of overspeed impacts in hump yards. The methodology is also extended to allocate coupler damage to train-slack action and yard coupling impacts.
