A railway axle box assembly comprising a rotatable axle 14 within a cylindrical bearing liner 12 in a housing is provided with a baffle 40 between the outboard end of the axle and the end of the housing. The baffle 40 defines a space in an upper end region of the housing in free communication with atmosphere by means of a breather plug 56; the shape and configuration of the baffle being such as to prevent lubricant within the housing from being violently propelled into said space during rotation of the axle in the bearing. <IMAGE> |
