Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for the accurate weighing of coupled-in-motion railcars carrying a flowable or otherwise displaceable material. Systems of the invention employ a scale having a pair of independent scale platforms, each of which captures weight readings while a wheel carriage of a given railcar is isolated thereon. Weight data captured by the scale platforms is analyzed and combined to determine an accurate weight for the associated railcar.
