A pair of prototype radial-axle passenger trucks was tested at the Transportation Test Center, Pueblo, Co. With steering cross-links to provide yaw-angle compliance and axle stability, these trucks can execute axle radial alignment when negotiating curves; primary suspension is made up of separate vertical and horizontal springing. Curving performance, stability, ride quality, braking performance, and component life were evaluated during extended service tests. This report covers vehicle safety, resolution of technical problems, wayside rail force data, and the extended service life testing.
