In this paper we describe an experimental study of a method to determine force transmission characteristics on railroads and vibration response for exciting force by train running, thus establishing a method to predict the influence of solid-borne sound produced from train tracks over buildings built on the track bed. Consequently, the force transmission characteristics on a directly connected track bed, ballast bed, and vibration isolating bed have been definitely shown. Further, it is known that the vibration response of the track bed by train running can be precisely determined by computing the vibration acceleration energy due to exciting force of a single wheel of the car multiplied by the number of one side wheels of all the cars.
