Abstract
As part of the work, the technical condition of innovative gondola rail cars built in 2015-2021 was analyzed in comparison with gondola rail cars on trolleys with the axial load of 23.5 t/axle. When evaluating the railway car efficiency, the number of railway car uncouplings in the current and planned types of repairs during the overhaul period was taken as a basis. It is shown that a significant proportion of gondola rail cars uncouplings in the current repair is due to damage. In total, the damage rate of innovative railcars is 42% higher than for standard railcars. Based on the analysis, the conclusion is made about imperfection of the current system of accounting for the operational work of railcars. The existing simplified accounting system for mileage and service life does not allow to identify the cause-and-effect relationship of occurrence of malfunctions.
