New trams with fixed trucks |
|
|
Posted by Joe on Tue Dec 1 19:53:46 2020 Over on eurotrams-group@googlegroups.com there is an interesting discussion of the fixed trucks on Citadis trams in Orleans being very destructive of girder rail on curves. Apparently in Melbourne, Australia, cars of European design with rigid trucks also chew track.--- Have the light rail vehicles in the U.S. had any such problems? --- I'm guessing that PCC trucks swiveled on curves, and possibly the axles did not have to remain perfectly parallel to each other but had some give. --- Any help on this observation? Thanks. |
