Zusammenfassung:A railway train having articulated vehicle bodies. A steering beam spans across each two adjacent vehicle bodies. Each beam is vertically pivoted or ball-jointed at points along the longitudinal center line of the adjacent vehicle bodies at some distance from the end of each vehicle body. The steering beam acts as a structure to which a suspension unit (bogie truck) is attached. The suspension unit is attached to the beam in a manner which permits the suspension unit to rotate in yaw about a vertical axis. The yaw rotation may be accomplished either freely or against the restraint of springs, viscous dampers or friction devices.
