An industrial railroad locomotive includes a chassis with wheel sets supporting the locomotive for movement along the rails. A suspension system for each respective wheel set includes torque bars extending transversely of said chassis. Links secured to the ends of the torque bars and pivotally connected to brackets on each side of the respective wheel set are operative to urge the wheel set downwardly with respect to the locomotive chassis to maintain each wheel of the set in contact with the respective rail while permitting side-to-side canting of the wheel set with respect to the chassis in a generally vertical plane. Spring snubbers at each side of a wheel set are positioned between the wheel set brackets and chassis frame supporting the weight of the locomotive on the respective wheel set, while permitting such side-to-side canting. The spring snubbers include a ball and socket interface between the wheel set and springs mounted on the chassis frame.
