The track structure forms a circuit. The track structure forms the path that guides each the plurality of trolleys through the circuit formed by the track structure. Each individual trolley can take an individual path selected from the multipath structure of the track structure.

A railway wheel is capable of suppressing formation of pro-eutectoid cementite even if the C content is high. The railway wheel has a chemical composition consisting of: in mass %, C: 0.80 to 1.15%; Si: 0.45% or less; Mn: 0.10 to 0.85%; P: 0.050% or less; S: 0.030% or less; Al: 0.120 to 0.650%; N: 0.0030 to 0.0200%; Cr: 0 to 0.25%; and V: 0 to 0.12%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, wherein an amount of pro-eutectoid cementite, which is defined by Formula (1), in a microstructure of the railway wheel is not more than 1.50 pieces/100 μm: Amount of pro-eutectoid cementite (pieces/100=a total sum of the number of pieces of pro-eutectoid cementite which intersect with two diagonal lines in a square visual field of 200 μm×200 μm/(5.66×100 μm) (1).

A backing ring assembly is for railway axles and includes a backing ring and an annular insert having L-shaped axial cross sections. The insert includes a sleeve portion fitted to a radially outer cylindrical surface of the backing ring, which delimits a first axial section thereof. The annular insert sleeve portion includes first and second axial sections hingedly connected by an intermediate, reduced thickness section designed to form a plastic hinge. The first axial section of the sleeve portion projects axially from the first section of the backing ring, which is provided with an annular projection designed to induce elastic deformation of the reduced thickness section to ensure that the second axial section of the sleeve portion is always coupled with the cylindrical outer surface of the backing ring first axial section by an interference fit.

The invention relates to a multi-part railway wheel for a railway vehicle, having a wheel tire, having an inner wheel part, having at least one elastic body arranged between the wheel tire and the inner wheel part, which body acts for electrical insulation, by way of which body the wheel tire is supported on the inner wheel part, and having a current bridge that is mounted on an outside end face of the railway wheel which bridge comprises a first contact element that consists of an electrically conductive material and lies against the wheel tire with a contact surface, a second contact element that consists of an electrically conductive material and lies against the inner wheel part with its contact surface and an electrical conductor that connects the contact elements. The inner wheel part consists of a light-metal material, at least in the region in which the contact element of the current bridge, which is assigned to the inner wheel part, lies against the inner wheel part with its contact surface. In order to prevent the risk of the formation of contact corrosion at a contact location, at which a contact element of the current bridge lies against a section of the inner wheel part that consists of a light-metal material, in the case of such a railway wheel, using simple means, the invention proposes forming the contact surface of the contact element that lies against the inner wheel part on a section of the contact element that consists of corrosion-resistant, electrically conductive steel material.
