FRA TIER 2 CERTIFICATION REVIEW SCRIPT
2026 ACCURATE Q&A COLLECTION
◉You measure a 2 3/8 inch deep dip as shown in the picture above
what class of track is this good for.
A. What is the defect and what chart is it found on? Answer: Class 2
A. The deviation from uniform profile on either rail at the mid
ordinate of a 62 foot chord may be more then...
VOL 2 TSS 2.1.46
◉While checking crosslevel on the track shown in the sketch above,
you find that the joint at location 1 is two inches low and the joint at
location 2 is one quarter inch (1/4) low. What is the maximum
freight speed allowed at these locations?
A. What are the defects we are looking for? Answer: 1 3/4 = Class 4
= 60 MPH 2.1.46
A. Difference in crosslevel (warp) between any two points less than
62-feet apart on tangent track exceeds allowable. 213.0063A5
VOL2 TSS 2.1.163
, ◉The _____ in any 31 feet of rail at the end of a raise may not be more
than ____ inches in class 1 track Answer: Run off = 3 1/2"
VOL 2 TSS 2.1.46 = use chart
◉When measuring the difference in crosslevel between any two
points less than 62 feet apart, what type of defect are we looking
for? Answer: Warp
2.1.46 Track surface chart = use chart
◉The high rail of a curve in class four track has a spot that has a 1
1/8 inch of super elevation 51 feet away from this spot on the same
rail there is a spot with 4 inches of super elevation. Based on these
readings in sketch above this curve is good for_______
A. What is this defect? Answer: subtract difference between
measurements (4 - 1 1/8 = 2 7/8) Class 1
A. Deviation form zero crosslevel 213.0063A3
VOL2 TSS 2.1.162
◉This is a 45 MPH conventional jointed rail track in sketch above.
Based on these seven crosslevel measurements that show the low
point joints and how much what is the remedial action for this track?
