Posted by tracksionmotor on Sun Nov 26 18:58:54 2006, in response to Re: Wheel Axels, posted by Fulton Frank on Sun Nov 26 14:17:58 2006. Cut me a #239 NF 36" from American tool steel please. Wheel flanges are not tapered...they have a definite profile set by AAR which I inspect with AAR profile gauges. minimum width must be 14/16th of an inch and flange height is 17/16th inch. Upon inspection, I mark axles in chalk with tread thickness, flange correction and flange height...notifying wheel defects marked on wheel directly and indicating in in my inspection reports per FRA requirements.Railroad work is dangerous work. Observe Safety Rules, wear your PPEs and raise the Blue Flag. STAY SAFE. RRCI Peter |
