Demand for improved high speed rail transportation in growing metropolitan corridor areas has resulted in United Aircraft's designing and building several new turbine-powered high speed trains; paper describes some of features in suspension design permitting significant improvements in comfort and ability of trains to negotiate existing curves with greater speed and safety; system banks car body proportional to lateral force permitting higher speeds on curves; intermediate axles are guided to eliminate oscillations or truck hunting.
