Improving the technical level of railway transport of industrial enterprises is expressed in the introduction of advanced types of traction (locomotives and electric locomotives), four and six-axle specialized cars, including self-unloading, automation and telemechanics. To increase the productivity of quarry trains at PJSC "Kryukiv Railway Car Building Plant" a six-axle dump car model 33-7141 for quarry railway transport was designed. The car is designed for transportation from quarries of open cut hard rocks, ore and other bulk and lump cargo with density (1.75-4.0) t/m3, as well as mechanized unloading on dumping sites or crushing units of opencast mining. A distinctive feature of innovative dump cars from typical ones is the increase of cargo weight by 10 t and axial load to 271.6 (27.7) kN (ts). In this regard, the issues of assessing the braking efficiency of a quarry train with innovative dump cars that meet the requirements for railway industrial transport are becoming relevant. The article presents the study results of the braking efficiency of a quarry train composition of 10 and 14 cars. Locomotive TEM7 and unit OPE1AM with one and two motor cars were considered as traction units. The maximum permissible speeds were determined in a given range of slopes of the railway track, and the maximum possible descent was set provided that the braking distance does not exceed or will be equal to 300. As a result of research, it was found that the maximum allowable deviations ranged from 34 ‰ to 38 ‰ depending on the number of cars and traction units. The speed of trains with innovative dump trucks on the site is 42 km/h. Key words: dump car, tipping wagon, maximum slope, permissible speed, braking distance, traction unit.
