Zusammenfassung:A railway truck having a rigid frame includes journal boxes slidably mounted with the ends of the side frames. Equalizer beams are connected to the tops of the journal boxes. Flexible members are disposed between the journal boxes and the frames and between the journal boxes and the equalizer beams so that when the truck is moving around a curve at a sufficiently high speed, the creep forces acting on the wheels cause the axles within the journal boxes and controlled by the equalizer beams to move radially limited amounts.
