Abstract Interest in curving behavior of rail vehicles began earlier than interest in stability. In Germany, Redtenbacher is probably the first to have dealt intensely with curving behavior (Redtenbacher, Die Gesetze des Locomotiv–Baues, (The Laws of Design of Locomotives), 1855, [1]). In the monograph by Boedecker (Die Wirkungen zwischen Rad und Schiene und ihre Einflüsse auf den Lauf und den Bewegungswiderstand der Fahrzeuge in den Eisenbahnzügen (The effects between wheel and rail and their influences on the running behavior and the resistance of vehicles in railway trains), 1887, [2]), curving behavior is also the focus. Although the question of running on a straight line (and so the question of stability) is mentioned as a problem, the issue is, however, regarded as secondary in Boedecker’s work.
