ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a new articulated car for transporting intermodal containers over a railroad. A novel bogey configuration having large sliding bearing assemblies is used to suspend the load below the axles of the bogies. Draft and buff forces are transmitted through the axles and side rails of the bogey rather than through the articulated coupling, thereby relieving stress on the coupling. The design makes it possible to lower the sills and the center of gravity by passing the load bearing members below the axles of the bogey.
