Seattle, WA Freight Wing develops and markets innovative aerodynamic attachments for semi-trailers to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in the trucking industry.
Freight Wing products represent the first practical solution to trailer aerodynamics, which could save the trucking industry over one billion gallons of fuel and 3 million tons of emissions annually.
Freight Wing’s patented products were commercialized through the support of three grants from the U.S. DOE and Transport Canada.

A railroad freight truck is a movable platform on pairs of wheels which supports one end of a railroad car; it is also called a bogie.

  Characteristics of a Freight Pipeline Transportation System
Calculations reported by Hammitt [7] show that the drag coefficient stays close to the incompressible value until the gap Mach number nearly reaches one and then rapidly increases to a value which is easily double the incompressible value.
Aerodynamic drag on a capsule can be determined as a sum of three drag components: pressure force on the frontal surface, pressure drop caused by friction along the capsule length, and pressure force on the back of a capsule.
Drag modeling leads to the understanding of a phenomenon called ``choking.'' If the annular gap between a capsule and the pipeline is small, the flow speed along the gap could become sonic and restrict the flow through the gap.

  Cope and drag Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the simplest sand casting procedure, the drag is placed on a board, around a pattern of the part to be cast.
Then, the cope is placed on the drag, and dowels (or pins) are put in the sand to make holes for the sprue and one or more risers.
The critical part of the operation is to separate the cope and drag to remove the pattern.

 Drag Racing Online - Specials: Twin Engine pg.1 October 2001
Piston-driven drag race cars were not the only ones that ran more than one engine.
In the dinosaur days of drag racing (1949-1955), all kinds of wild contraptions were created to produce maximum speeds on the dragstrip.
Pulling off all the body panels on a roadster to produce a dragster, mounting a 4-71 blower, putting on eight two-barrel carburetors, and stroking the Mercury Flathead with nitro- methane as well as the Chryslers were just some of the methods used to gain an edge.

 TRAINS Magazine - Railroad News, Web Cam, Railroading Video - The Berkshire: Steam's fast-freight legend
Three locomotive types were ideal for drag freight: 2-10-2, 2-6-6-2, and 2-8-8-2.
Between 1927 and 1929 John J. Bernet brought Erie out of the drag freight era with the purchase of 105 Berkshires, and the 2-8-4 became a much faster freight engine.
The two major differences between the Lima A-1 and the Erie Berkshires were a larger boiler and 70" drivers; the cylinders were a half inch larger, and the locomotives had full-length frames.

The wreck happened when one freight train that had been safely waiting in the passing track for a following train, came back out onto the mainline and was struck by the fast approaching train.
Extra 5186 West, assisted by 2607, was a drag freight (train 71) having work to do at Galt.
The move was made "in the face of" the fast approaching train, which had already passed the last signal when the switch was thrown to allow the waiting train to come out of the passing track where it had been safely sitting, back onto the main line.

 pennsylvania M1a 4-8-2 - Intro
For railroads, this meant that the era of slow drag freight, with the exception of mineral and coal hauling, was giving way to a new age of fast freight.
As the factory assembly line system evolved, freight schedules became as time-conscious as the swiftest passenger varnish.
Unlike their later, marginally successful experiments with turbines and duplex drives, the railroad bega with standard parts from existing locomotives placed on the 4-8-2 platform, producing a design so perfect that it was one of the very last classes of steamers retired from Pennsy rails.

 Method to real Lash-ups? - Topic Powered by eve community
The reason freight units were geared lower was because that kept the traction motors revolving at higher RPMs at low speeds.
Thus the low geared freight units could be loaded down with tonnage and pull up the grades at a lower speed without burning up TMs than the higher geared passenger units could do.
To keep the motor RPM high at low speed on freight units to prevent burning up the motors, and to keep the RPMs low enough at high speeds on passenger units to prevent them from flying apart.

 MTH Electric Trains
In the early part of the twentieth century, most freight moved in relatively slow "drag" freight trains, and speed was secondary to just getting the goods delivered.
Perhaps the zenith of the fast freight engine was the 4-6-6-4 Challenger, first conceived by the Union Pacific Railroad and American Locomotive Works in the mid-1930s.
The Z-6s spent most of their careers hauling reefer trains and fast freights on Northern Pacific divisions in Washington State and Montana's Big Sky country, with occasional passenger stints leading the crack North Coast Limited.

In the 1920s, increased competition meant that railroads had to come up with new ways of doing business if they hoped to remain successful.
Up to that time, most freight was moved by connecting as many cars as possible to a locomotive and having the steam engine heave and drag them along (called "drag freight").
Some railroads decided to compete more effectively by increasing the speed, not the capacity, of their freight trains.

In 1947, the unique double ended passenger freight units from Baldwin took over passenger services to Mauch Chunk from the Pacifics, although this service was soon terminated.
