Steering Bogies for Locomotives
The steering bogie, a concept that can play a significant role in
reducing rail wear, first evolved in the 1930s, but has only found
widespread acceptance since its adoption by major locomotive builders
Electro-Motive and General Electric in the 1990s. Peter Clark takes a
look at the technology involved, and how it is applied in the various
locomotive types currently in use.
