A bogie assembly for a rail vehicle comprises a bogie frame, two wheel axles supporting the bogie frame, a primary of a linear induction motor and two motor mounts. The two motor mounts are located proximate a different extremity of the primary and support the linear induction motor underneath the bogie frame. Each one of the two motor mounts has a bogie interface, a motor interface, a first spring, a conical spring, a core pin and a nut. The first spring is connected to the bogie interface on the bogie side while the conical spring is connected to the same bogie interface on the motor side. The core pin extends sequentially from the motor interface through the conical spring, then through the bogie interface and finally through the first spring where it is held in place by the nut on the other side of the first spring.

A ballast arrangement for a rail vehicle includes at least one ballast device. The at least one ballast device has a concrete weight body, at least one built-in metal reinforcement, and at least one securing device built into the weight body. There is also described a method for producing a ballast arrangement according to the invention.

A chassis for a rail vehicle, in particular with inboard wheel sets, with at least one transmission, at least one transversely mounted drive motor and at least one chassis frame, wherein the chassis frame includes at least one crossmember and at least a first longitudinal carrier and a second longitudinal carrier, where at least a first elastic bearing, a second elastic bearing and a third elastic bearing are arranged between the drive motor and the chassis frame, and where in each case one of the elastic bearings is arranged on at least one of the longitudinal carriers in order to provide advantageous construction conditions.

A magnetic traction assembly is disclosed for a railcar mover that provides additional downforce to improve traction for a railcar mover when required. The magnetic traction assembly may comprise a frame, an actuator, and a magnetic element positioned underneath a railcar mover. The magnetic element may be lowered to a deployed position, where the magnetic element is positioned near the railroad rails such that the magnetic field from the magnetic element interacts with the railroad rail creating an attraction force that provides additional downforce to the railcar mover.
