I hever never once heard of a dutch roll occuring to a train.
- shdon 2y agoAm on a Dutch train right now and there is a distinct lack of roll, Dutch or otherwise. That said, I wonder where the term Dutch Roll comes from. Perhaps the oscillation is reminiscent of the motion of a ship rocking side to side. The Dutch were a major sea power.
- koliber 2y agoWhen it happens, it's catastrophic, and then it is not called a dutch roll.
- HPsquared 2y agoThe rail equivalent is called hunting oscillation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_oscillation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_oscillation
