ABSTRACT:
An articulated railway truck assembly is provided with two wheelset assemblies, each of which is attached for pivotal movement about a pivot near the center of the truck frame assembly and each of which extends beneath the respective adjacent ends of the side frames, with resilient support connectors between and joined to the adjacent portions of each wheel frame and side frame for permitting pivotal movement of each wheelset assembly about the respective pivot by resilient deformation of the connectors, whereby the connectors provide restoring forces for returning the wheelsets to the "square" position.
