141 Method of manufacturing a multiple axle railcar having a span bolster US14770942 2015-04-30 US09908540B2 2018-03-06 Jon Odden; Dave Stull
A method for making a railcar having a span bolster is disclosed. The method involves fabricating and joining the components of the span bolster in a manner such that a camber is built into span bolster. A camber is cut into longitudinal supports that span the length of the bolster. A jig is used to shape top and bottom plates prior to attaching the plates to the longitudinal supports, thus forming the bolster. Truck assemblies are attached to the bolster and a railcar body mounted to the combined unit.

147 Railway vehicle steering truck US14357602 2012-09-20 US09352760B2 2016-05-31 Yoshiyuki Shimokawa
A tread surface cleaning system has a cleaning element mounted to a truck frame of a steering truck in a position facing a tread surface of a wheel. The cleaning element moves freely to come into contact with and to move away from the tread surface. A pressing-load application spring biases the cleaning element toward the tread surface and a stopper restrains the cleaning element from approaching the tread surface. A forward and backward movement of a wheel axle 2 in the travel direction caused by steering is used so that the cleaning element makes contact only on the inner rail side toward which the tread surface of the wheel approaches when passing through a curved section. The cleaning element does not make contact on the outer rail side from which the tread surface moves away when passing through a curved section and when traveling through a straight section.
148 Bogie shaft for a railway vehicle having a stone guard and method for producing same US13701088 2011-05-19 US09315072B2 2016-04-19 Edzard Lübben; Oliver Stier
A bogie shaft for railway vehicles has a cladding which contains a metal component. The metal component is preferably electrochemically less refined, but no greater than exactly as refined, as a material of the bogie shaft. Corrosion on the bogie shaft can thereby be advantageously prevented. The metal material of the cladding is also able to effectively protect the bogie shaft against stone impact. The cladding can be advantageously applied by cold gas spraying, or a sleeve can be bent around the bogie shaft for forming the cladding. The cladding can advantageously contain particles that can make it more resistant to stone impact. The particles can be made, for example, of hard materials, of particularly ductile particles, or of particles made of a memory shape alloy.

153 FITTINGS FOR RAILROAD CAR TRUCK US14275168 2014-05-12 US20140245921A1 2014-09-04 James Wilfred Forbes; Jamal Hematian
A rail road freight car truck has a truck bolster and a pair of side frames, the truck bolster being mounted transversely relative to the side frames. The mounting interface between the ends of the axles and the sideframe pedestals allows lateral rocking motion of the sideframes in the manner of a swing motion truck. The lateral swinging motion is combined with a longitudinal self steering capability. The self steering capability may be obtained by use of a longitudinally oriented rocker that may tend to permit resistance to deflection that is proportional to the weight carried across the interface. The truck may have auxiliary centering elements mounted in the pedestal seats, and those auxiliary centering elements may be made of resilient elastomeric material. The truck may also have friction dampers that have a disinclination to stick-slip behavior. The friction dampers may be provided with brake linings, or similar features, on the face engaging the sideframe columns, on the slope face, or both. The friction dampers may operate to yield upward and downward friction forces that are not overly unequal. The friction dampers may be mounted in a four-cornered arrangement at each end of the truck bolster. The spring groups may include sub-groups of springs of different heights.

156 INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE CONSTRUCTION US14028184 2013-09-16 US20140013993A1 2014-01-16 Frank Wegner Donnelly
A method is disclosed for constructing a locomotive, in part, from serviceable used parts from one or more other locomotives. The principal part that is used in this new locomotive configuration is a single, used locomotive truck assembly. The various embodiments and configurations of the present invention are directed generally to a purpose-built locomotive that incorporates parts from other locomotives in a unique way. The present invention can be summarized as a method creating a simple locomotive that is well adapted to switching and spotting functions that shares commonality with other larger locomotives both in terms of components and design. Because this new piece equipment is built in part from a plentiful supply of under-valued surplus components, it will be economical to construct and maintain. The locomotive may also include a self-elevating system so that the truck assembly can be accessed or removed rapidly for maintenance or repairs.

159 HIGH FRICTION RAILROAD CAR COMPONENTS WITH FRICTION MODIFYING INSERTS US13568745 2012-08-07 US20130199407A1 2013-08-08 David M. East; Giuseppe Sammartino; Michael K. Burke
High friction railroad car components with component friction modifying inserts which are configured to coat an engagement surface on a corresponding component on the railroad car to modify or control the friction between an engagement surface of the high friction railroad car component and the engagement surface of the corresponding component while allowing such components to engage each other. The initial movement of the high friction component with the friction modifying inserts causes transfer material of the friction modifying inserts to be spread over or coat a portion of the engagement surface of the corresponding component. This forms a lubrication layer which modifies or controls the friction between these components while these components are in engagement.
