ABSTRACT:
Truck hunting is eliminated in railway vehicles by applying a low coefficient of friction material to the vehicle wheels so that a lubricating film is provided between the vehicle wheels and the rail on which they ride which serves to increase the critical speed of a rail vehicle, i.e., the speed at which truck hunting occurs, to a value above its operating speed.
