ABSTRACT:
A rail bogie for a convertible rail-highway vehicle system having an overall height of approximately thirty inches so that the bogie can fit under the rear of a semi-trailer body, all necessary braking equipment, except for air hose connections; a structure which maintains the axle alignment "square" at all times, includes air springs so as to improve ride quality and to enable the bogie height to be altered via pneumatic controls and takes downward loads outboard at the air spring locations rather than through the connection of the bogie to an associated vehicle; duplicate pneumatic controls and air hose connections on both sides of the vehicle so that the vehicle body can be coupled to the bogie from either direction; and can be lifted by an attachment device used to attach the bogie to an associated vehicle body.
