ABSTRACT:
A railway truck suspension including a load-bearing member, a pair of wheelsets supporting the load-bearing member, each wheelset being self-steering, and means interconnecting the wheelsets such that they yaw in opposite sense, the interconnecting means comprising a pair of arms on each side of the longitudinal axis of the truck in its direction of travel, each arm being secured at one end to an axle-supported bearing on a wheelset to transmit moments to that wheelset and the arms on the same side of the longitudinal axis extending generally towards each other, and means coupling the other ends of the arms together to allow lost motion between these ends while transmitting rotation of either arm to the other arm.
