An axlebox, also known as a journal box in North America, is the mechanical subassembly on each end of the axles under a railway wagon, coach or locomotive; it contains bearings and thus transfers the wagon, coach or locomotive weight to the wheels and rails; the bearing design is typically oil-bathed plain bearings on older rolling stock, or roller bearings on newer rolling stock.
Reference [3] [4]. In July 2010, the Ministry of Transportation issued Regulation No. KM45/2010, which among other things, renumbered the locomotive unit number. Under the new regulation, the unit number consisted of year of entered service and the unit number of that year (e.g. CC201 78 03 (former CC201 31) denotes that it is the third CC201 that entered service in 1978).

An articulated bogie (aka Jakob-type) is any one of a number of bogie designs that reduce weight, increase passenger comfort, and allow railway equipment to safely turn sharp corners, while reducing or eliminating the "screeching" normally associated with metal wheels rounding a bend in the rails. There are a number of such designs, and the ...
EA203 series uses air-spring bogie (bolsterless) with the TB-914 type on the train driver's cabin and the MB-514 on the middle train, which is a development of the EA201 series and Inka-Hitachi EMU, which also has a similar shape to the TR235D/TR241B/TR246E and DT50D bogie on the 203 series and 205 series which is a EMUs produced by a Japanese ...
The Blomberg B is a 2-axle bogie that was introduced by EMD in 1939 with the FT locomotive series; the original "B" version plus later "M" and "X" versions were quite successful and became standard equipment on a multitude of locomotive models. They are easily identified by prominent "swing hangers" on each side which widen the effective spring ...
A Schwartzkopff-Eckhardt bogie (German: Schwartzkopff-Eckhardt-Lenkgestell or Schwartzkopff-Eckhardt-Gestell) is a mechanical device to improve the curve running of steam locomotives. The Schwartzkopff-Eckhardt bogie is a further refinement of the Krauss-Helmholtz bogie , whereby two coupled axles and the carrying axle are combined within the ...
