| 20080223251 | LOCOMOTIVE PROPULSION SYSTEM MODULE FOR REFURBISHMENT OF USED LOCOMOTIVES - Disclosed herein is a propulsion skid module useful for refurbishing locomotives. In one embodiment, the propulsion skid module includes a skid base serving as a support for an engine; said skid base comprising at least two support members and extending substantially the length of the module and at least one panel spanning said two support members; with the module further comprising an engine; a blower for delivery of air under pressure, a control device compartment, an auxiliary cab comprising power connectors, and an air compressor secured onto said skid base; and an air plenum defined in said base. Also disclosed herein are methods for refurbishing a locomotive. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20100132585 | Railway Vehicle Comprising Pivoting Bogies - A railway vehicle including a plurality of bogies is provided. Each bogie includes a chassis, two front wheels and two rear wheels. For each front wheel and each rear wheel, a guidance device is provided for guiding the wheel in rotation and a primary suspension device of the chassis is provided on the guidance device. At least the primary suspension devices associated with the front and rear wheels are arranged on the same first lateral side of the bogie. The primary suspension devices each include two longitudinal connecting rods, each connected by a first connection point to the chassis and by a second connection point to the corresponding guidance device and at least one resilient component inserted between the two connecting rods to define at least the vertical stiffness of the primary suspension device, the two connecting rods being offset longitudinally relative to one another. Each of the bogies also includes a pivot connection device for connecting the bogie to the railway vehicle. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100132586 | Motor-Driven Bogie for a Streetcar - A powered bogie for a railway vehicle, including one or more motors mounted on the bogie chassis, the front and rear reducing gears being arranged between, on the one hand, a longitudinal plane midway between the two front wheels and midway between the two rear wheels and, on the other hand, a longitudinal plane passing through the front wheel and the rear wheel situated on the same, first transverse side of the bogie is provided. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100307371 | Articulated bogie for a railway vehicle - A bogie includes two pairs of wheels ( | 12-09-2010 |
| 20120260817 | Running Gear for a Rail Vehicle with a Transversally Decoupling Motor Suspension - A running gear for a rail vehicle, including a wheel unit, a motor unit and a running gear frame unit being supported on the wheel unit. The motor unit is connected to the wheel unit to drive the wheel unit. Further more, the motor unit is suspended to the running gear frame unit via a connecting device. The connecting device is transversally elastic to allow a relative transverse motion between the motor unit and the running gear frame unit. The connecting device has a transverse rigidity being sufficiently low such that a contribution of the motor unit to an inertial moment of the running gear frame unit about the height direction is reduced by at least 50%. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20130019774 | SUSPENSION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A suspension apparatus that includes a suspension linkage connected between a traction motor and a rail vehicle truck frame at least at first and second locations. The suspension linkage including at the first location a first pin pivotally connecting the traction motor with a cross member of the truck frame, and, at the second location, at least one elastomeric element deformable to fully suspend the traction motor from the truck frame. | 01-24-2013 |
| 20140033947 | TORQUE SUPPORT AND A BOGIE FOR A RAIL VEHICLE - A torque support for the articulated mutual support of two elements is provided, for example, a frame or a bogie on the one hand and a housing such as a final drive housing of a rail vehicle on the other hand. The torque support includes a rod, at the two ends of which one respective receiver head is arranged. The receiver head includes a bearing for accommodating a bolt which is used for support on the respective element. The rod is arranged as a sleeve at least in the region of its two ends and the bearing includes a socket which is arranged in the radial direction of the bolt between the bolt and the receiver head and is supported on the receiver head via at least one further bearing element. The socket includes a bulbous section in the manner of a universal ball joint on its outer circumference. | 02-06-2014 |

| 20130239846 | Apparatus for Moving Railcars via Self-Propulsion - An apparatus that can be affixed to a standard railcar thereby converting a standard railcar into a self-propelled railcar, such self-propelled railcar having the capacity to move independently and serve as a locomotive for moving other railcars. The apparatus includes a railcar drive assembly that can be retrofitted to a railcar in such a manner that the hydraulic motor, hoses, and connectors of the drive assembly motor mechanism are positioned below the bed of the railway car and between the drive assembly housing and the railway car's wheel-and-truck assembly. This drive assembly design ensures that the drive assembly motor mechanism's hydraulic motor, hoses, and connectors are protected from general railway track debris as well as obstructions in the railroad right of way, and helps prevent unnecessary damage or the need for untimely maintenance. | 09-19-2013 |
| 20150027340 | HY-GEAR RAILWAY TRANSPORT - A railway transport for equipment with a blade includes: a drive motor configured to receive drive power from the equipment; an axle attached to the drive motor such that the drive motor can turn the axle; first railway wheels at ends of the axle that can be driven by the drive motor; and a frame across the axle and having a first end on one side of the axle and a second end on an other side of the axle, wherein the first end of the frame has a configuration to retain the blade of the equipment. | 01-29-2015 |

| 20120318164 | BOGIE FRAME FOR RAILROAD VEHICLE - In a bogie frame, a lateral beam disposed in the left-right direction which is the direction in which the rail ties extend is joined to left and right side beams arranged so as to extend in the front-rear direction which is the direction in which the rails extend. The lateral beam has a flat shape having a width in the front-rear direction greater than the thickness thereof in the top-bottom direction, and the lateral beam is provided with left and right joining sections joined to the side beams, and also with an intermediate section sandwiched between the left and right joining sections. The width of the intermediate section in the front-rear direction is greater than the width of the joining sections in the front-rear direction. A through-hole is formed in the intermediate section. | 12-20-2012 |
