| Abstract: | The response of a train, modelled with a cascade of bodies and springs, due to a step force at the locomotive is investigated. In this model the mass of the locomotive and the last wagon may differ from that of the other wagons. An analytic solution is given for a finite and for a semi-infinite cascade and a comparison to the solution of a continuous model is made. |
