A symmetrical multi-unit railroad freight car, such as a 3-pack railroad intermodal well car, has body units that are connected symmetrically. The body units have a symmetrical arrangement of end trucks and shared trucks. The end trucks are 70 Ton Trucks. The shared trucks are 125 Ton trucks. The trucks have passive steering using geometric rocker stiffnesses. The rockers in the end trucks have a smaller radius of curvature than the rockers in the shared trucks. The spring groups in the shared trucks are stiffer than the spring groups in the end trucks. The spring groups in the end trucks have a different proportion of damping when empty, a shorter live load range of travel, and greater reserve travel than the shared trucks. The end trucks and the shared trucks have four-cornered damper groups that have the same sized damper wedges. The damper wedges have non-metallic wear pads.

Disclosed is a fairing (3) for an articulated railway vehicle bogie, this fairing including: a bottom wall (30) and side walls (31) able to surround at least a lower part of a bogie, and first and second anchoring zones (51, 52) each able to be fastened to one end, respectively, of a first body and a second body of a railway vehicle that are articulated relative to one another, in a configuration where these first and second bodies rest at least partially on the bogie. The fairing (3) includes a flexible connector (4) that mechanically links the first anchoring zone (51) and the second anchoring zone (52) and that authorizes a movement of these first and second anchoring zones relative to one another.

A railroad well car includes a spaced trucks grouped in pairs, and a railcar body supported on a pair of the trucks, the body comprising a pair of spaced end structures, each end structure supported on one truck, and a well structure extending between the end structures. The well structure comprises a pair of top chord members extending between the end structures; a pair of side sills extending between the end structures; a pair of end chords extending between the side sills; four corner container support members, each secured to one end chord and one side sill; a plurality of floor beams extending between the side sills forming at least a portion of a floor for the well structure; and a plurality of side truss members extending between one side sill and one top chord on each side forming an open truss side for the well structure.

The railway vehicle includes two adjacent carriages (6), each including a carriage body (8), the bodies (8) being supported by a common bogie (1) and being articulated with each other with an articulation device (2). The articulation device (2) is received in a space (30) of the bogie (1), the space (30) being delimited along a longitudinal direction by a first abutment surface and by a second abutment surface (34), the articulation device (2) extending facing the first and second abutment surfaces (34) so that, when the railway vehicle moves in a first longitudinal direction, the first abutment surface comes into contact with the articulation device (2), and, when the railway vehicle moves in a second longitudinal direction, the second abutment surface (34) comes into contact with the articulation device (2).

A railway vehicle includes two adjacent carriages (6), each including a carriage body (8), each carriage (6) including a lower floor (54) and an upper floor (56), positioned above each other so as to define a lower level (58) and an upper level (60), the bodies (8) being supported by a common bogie (1) and being articulated with each other through an articulation device (2). The carriages (6) are connected to each other through an interconnection passage (62), the passage (62) extending substantially at right angles to the articulation device (2) and including a lower floor connecting the lower floors (54) of both carriages (6) and an upper floor connecting the upper floors (56) of both carriages.

A cable transportation system bogie extends along a longitudinal axis and has a main frame defining a supporting surface; a platform configured to support at least one car; and an articulated mechanism connected to the main frame and the platform, and configured to transmit pulling force between the main frame and the platform, and to permit movement of the platform with respect to the main frame in any direction.

An assembly for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes an undercarriage unit having at least one first wheel set supported on a track and a main body supported on the first wheel set. The main body has a coupling mechanism for mechanically coupling to at least one car body of the vehicle. At least one first driving motor for driving the first wheel set, at least one power supply unit for supplying the driving motor with electrical power and at least one inverter unit are provided. The power supply unit is disposed at least partially in a region of the undercarriage unit in order to permit the undercarriage unit of the assembly to be expanded with regard to the functionalities of the undercarriage unit.
