ABSTRACT:
A rail car load sensor 10 configured for use with a rail car brake controller 12. The rail car load sensor (10) detects and measures the distance between the underside of the rail car 14 and a component of the rail car that remains stationery whenever the weight or load in the rail car changes. This distance is then transmitted to rail car brake controller 12 for adjusting the braking action of the rail car brake system in accordance with the amount of load or weight in rail car 14.
