ABSTRACT:
The rail car is provided with a roll support device which is independent of the resilient weight support springs. The roll support device provides resistance to the rolling motions of the car body relative to the truck frame and includes connecting elements which couple the body and truck together. The elements are inclined to the vertical center plane of the car body and include an angle of more than 10.degree.. Under the action of a centrifugal force on the body, the connecting elements are subjected to a relative tilting motion which causes a roll inclination of the car body in opposition to the centrifugal force.
