A device for damping vibrations between a pair of sub-structural components of a carbody in a locomotive is provided. The sub-structural components are supported on a single undercarriage frame. The device includes a first support bracket affixed to a first sub-structural component, and a second support bracket that is interleaved with the first support bracket and affixed to a second sub-structural component. The device further includes a first stiffening element and a second stiffening element that are disposed on the first support bracket and in opposing relation to each other. The device further includes a reciprocating member that is rigidly connected to the second support bracket. The reciprocating member is movable between the first stiffening element and the second stiffening element to abut against one of the first stiffening element and the second stiffening element in response to a relative movement between the pair of sub-structural components of the carbody.

A carriage body for a passenger transport vehicle has a carriage body shell which has side walls provided with cut-outs for doors and/or windows, a roof and end walls which are composed of metal structures. The carriage body shell has wall segments which are formed from material through which mobile communication frequencies (frequency f>700 MHz) can pass and are inserted into openings in the metal structures.

A mounting device includes a front part equipped with first connector for connecting directly to a liner suitable to be installed in a vehicle, or to an intermediate connection device connected to the liner, and a back part that extends from the front part, in the direction opposite the first connector, and includes second connector that are elastically deformable and are adapted to engage, in an adjustable position, along a support structure of the transport vehicle. The front part includes a first face that is substantially flat, onto which is fastened a first layer incorporating the first connector, and the back part comprises a first arm and a second arm, which extend from the two opposite ends of the first face and which converge toward one another.

A fuel deck for on-board storage and delivery of gaseous fuel for a locomotive. The fuel deck is formed between the engine deck and the trucks of the locomotive. The fuel deck includes a base for riding on the trucks, a ceiling configured to separate the fuel deck from the engine deck, and one or more support structures extending between the base and the ceiling. The support structures are configured to support the load from the engine deck, and separate the base from the ceiling to form a fuel storage compartment that is adapted to store one or more fuel tanks that contain the gaseous fuel. A fuel system including one or more fuel tanks is also provided, where each fuel tank may have more than one inlet/outlet port for enabling faster refilling or distribution of the gaseous fuel, among other considerations.

A dolly system is disclosed, which overcomes drawbacks related to unwanted noise and jerks of prior art dolly systems. The dolly system comprises wheel assemblies (130) that have independently rotating lateral support wheels (132, 133) in combination with a center wheel (131) that interact with a continuous resilient element (122) when rolling along a rail track, without encountering any gaps or bumps and without producing squeal noise due to so-called wheel-climbing that may occur in curves along the rail track.
