Avery Weigh-Tronix FAQs - Weighline frequently asked Questions
What is Weighline and how does it work?
Weighline is a unique, patented railroad track scale where the rail itself is used as the weight sensor. Think of it as a double-ended, shear-beam load cell that is integrated into the rail. Go to the Weighline Page for more detailed information about this product

Can Weighline provide more than total car weights?
Yes. The system is very flexible and can be set-up to provide weight readings for individual trucks, axles, and even wheels, something not available with a conventional scale. There are many benefits to having balanced axle loads such as improved traction, less fuel consumption, better end-to-end balance, and safer train travel.
