ABSTRACT:
A bottom discharge hopper rail car train includes a pair of hopper rail cars each having a hopper body mounted on a chassis. Adjacent ends of the two hopper rail cars are supported by a split bogie assembly having bogie parts each pivotally mounted at an end region of a respective rail car and each including a pair of flanged wheels rotatable about a common axis. In this invention, the bogie parts are mounted adjacent to one another and each have formations for co-operating with complementary formations on the other bogie part for co-operating movement of the bogie parts of the assembly with respect to one another when the assembly moves along a curved track. The invention also extends to a split bogie assembly.
