Main Line with the AAR Saline

commence initially on the main tracks
of the Dearborn Division Chicago Line
(Cleveland, OH, to Chicago, IL, Milepost
(MP) CD 181.2–523.3). Once this district
has been completed, NS will expand to
the following locations: (1) Dearborn

The nonstop continuous rail test
vehicle will be a self-propelled
ultrasonic/induction rail flaw detection
vehicle operating at test speeds up to 30
mph. Upon completion of each daily
run, data will be analyzed offline by
technical experts experienced with the
process on other Class I railroads. The
analysis will categorize and prioritize
suspect locations for post-test field
