ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus and method for weighing railroad cars coupled together and in motion. The apparatus can be used in conjunction with most existing weigh bridges regardless of the length of the weigh bridge, without any modification of the physical construction thereof, and with most existing weigh mechanisms. The current bridge weight is determined each time an axle enters upon the weigh bridge and is stored in a current weight register. The weight of each of the axles as they enter upon the weight bridge is stored in a memory. The previous bridge weight is stored and substracted from the current bridge weight each time an axle enters the weigh bridge to provide the axle weight of each of the axles. The current bridge weight is transferred into storage after each axle weight determination is made, and the axle weights of each of the axles are transferred into storage in the memory.
