Railcar weighing consists of two distinct methods including static and in-motion. Static weighing requires that the car be moved into position on the scale and the weight is recorded while the car is stationary. In-motion weighing records the weight as the car rolls over the scale at a controlled speed. This includes uncoupled weighing where a single car coasts over the scale, and coupled weighing where an entire train is pulled over the scale and the weight of each car is recorded in sequence.
