Running, grade,curve and acceleration situations lead to certain degrees of resistance. Ensuringthe continuity of the train movement depend on overcoming the resistances.Force is required to encounter these resistances. Force is generated withenergy consumption. Energy consumption can be reduced by correct calculation ofresistances and precautions. Studies on energy efficiency of trains are primarilypossible with correctly calculation train resistance for different conditions. In this study, train resistance formulas in the literature,used in practice and developed from the past to present are reviewed. Eachtrain resistance formula is evaluated. The values obtained are compared. Theuse of some of the available formulas for energy efficiency and train drawcalculations has been proposed.
