Forces resulting when locomotive trucks negotiate curves are well recognized; recent theoretical analysis has made possible analytic explanation; instrumented wheel-axle assembly was developed and used on 2, 3, and 4-axle trucks to study effect of creep and transverse load reactions resulting between wheel and rail; instrumentation was used to measure these forces and reactions between axles and truck frame under operating conditions; test results confirm predicted phenomena and indicate effect of creep on resulting loads; review of curve-negotiation mechanics and test results in relation to theoretical analysis are presented.
