ABSTRACT:
A railway truck pedestal has a pedestal tie bar irremovably secured to one of the pedestal legs but arranged for easy movement between open and closed positions. The tie bar is of generally I-shape in plan and it is slidably mounted in channel-shaped saddles secured by their flanges to the bottom of the pedestal feet to provide generally aligned openings extending lengthwise of the pedestal. The saddle on one of the pedestal legs is slightly wider than the shoulders formed by the serifs on the tie bar and the channel of the saddle on the opposite pedestal foot is narrower than the shoulders formed by the serifs on the tie bar so that when it is desired to open the pedestal jaw, a bolt passing through one end of the tie bar and the corresponding saddle and pedestal foot can be removed and the tie bar slid through both saddles, the shoulders at the large saddle end passing through that saddle but engaging the saddle on the opposite pedestal foot so as to prevent removal of the tie bar after it has been moved to open position, the narrow saddle being offset longitudinally from the vertical transverse surface of the pedestal leg to which it is attached a distance at least equal to the thickness of the tie bar shoulder so as to permit the corresponding end of the tie bar to clear the inner transverse surface of that pedestal leg fully.
