    摘要: A symmetrical multi-unit railroad freight car, such as a 3-pack railroad intermodal well car, has body units that are connected symmetrically. The body units have a symmetrical arrangement of end trucks and shared trucks. The end trucks are 70 Ton Trucks. The shared trucks are 125 Ton trucks. The trucks have passive steering using geometric rocker stiffnesses. The rockers in the end trucks have a smaller radius of curvature than the rockers in the shared trucks. The spring groups in the shared trucks are stiffer than the spring groups in the end trucks. The spring groups in the end trucks have a different proportion of damping when empty, a shorter live load range of travel, and greater reserve travel than the shared trucks. The end trucks and the shared trucks have four-cornered damper groups that have the same sized damper wedges. The damper wedges have non-metallic wear pads.

    摘要: A multiple-unit railway vehicle having three car bodies where the respective neighboring car bodies are each connected in a pivoting manner to one another by means of a single coupling, and each car body sits only on one two-axle truck. In the vicinity of the respective center pivot and possibly also on the trucks, there are actuator elements that are used to influence the articulation angle between the longitudinal axes of the car bodies. To control the articulation angle so that when the train is traveling over a curved segment of track, the car bodies assume a position in relation to one another that corresponds at least to a significant extent to the static rest position of the railway vehicle on the corresponding section of track, the profile and curvature of the track are determined during travel for the segment of the track that currently lies between the first and last trucks, and from that measurement, the set point position is determined, and by means of the actuator system measurements are taken to counteract at least an overshooting or undershooting of the set point value.

    摘要: A railway car train includes five railway car units comprising two end units and three intermediate units. Each end unit is configured for coupler connection to conventional railway cars. The car units are connected to each other by articulated connections wherein the ends of adjacent car units are supported on a single truck. Mating male and female side bearing arm structures are provided on adjacent ends of car units. The end structures of the car units have reinforcement structures to support side bearing arms in either the male or female configuration so that a single design of end structure may be used for either a male or a female configuration. The end structures are provided with offset shear plates having an elevated center portion to allow clearance for large-wheeled trucks while keeping the side structures of the car low enough to provide clearance for unloading the car unit. The reinforcement structure for the side bearing arms serves the additional role of reinforcing the offset shear plate member for beaming loads laterally. The offset shear plate results in elevated side bearing arms on the end structure. A side bearing support structure is provided on the truck which elevates the side bearings to the level of the side bearing arms. The side bearing support structure supports guide means which guide a brake chain extending between the car units along a path which minimizes variations in tension due to relative pivoting of the car units.
