Bogie Lateral Movement-Limiting System

摘要

A bogie lateral movement-limiting system capable of effectively restricting the lateral movement of a derailed bogie. The system comprises derailment prevention guards (62a, 62b) laid along the inside of paired left and right rails, and a lateral movement-limiting device (52) installed on the lower part of the bogie (30). The device (52) has a stopper (51) projecting downward at a position between the wheels of the bogie and slidingly contacts with the inner surfaces of the derailment prevention guards (62a, 62b) in case of a derailment of bogie.
