Popeye on the RR :
Fun fact. The width of the distance between the rails is the same distance between covered wagon wheels were. When the railroad came to be, there were no gauges or measurements so they based on how wide wagon wheels were.

The axles are attached to trucks which swivel

They should make the train wheels out of a softer and lighter material now that I think about it, so that it won't be dangerous for people.

The elevation of the curve also plays huge part in how they go around corners.

Why not just use the steering wheel? Make sure there’s enough air in the tires too

Engineers don’t call that “wobble hunting” it’s called truck hunting

🤔 the trucks are able to pivot in curves. This is terrible information

Bart trains in the SF Bay Area screech like hell. They take those curves great though and hit 80 in some spots.
