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.
The GE CM20EMP (also known as CC206 in Indonesia) are diesel-electric locomotives owned and operated by Kereta Api Indonesia (Indonesian Railways Co.) and built by GE Transportation. The GE CM20EMPs are multipurpose locomotives, not only for hauling passenger trains (i.e. executive class, business class, or economy class), but also freight trains.
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).

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 ...
A monomotor bogie (French: bogie monomoteur) is a form of traction bogie used for an electric locomotive or diesel-electric locomotive. It is distinguished by having a single traction motor on each bogie.
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 ...
Since in modern times, locomotives no longer require separate driving and carrying axles (see wheel arrangement), as was formerly common with steam locomotives, but usually have bogies where all axles are driven, the term running gear is (inaccurately) superseding the term 'driving gear' in some parts of the world.
Meanwhile, the second to fifth trains have motors, also known as motor cars (M). [22] All Ratangga trains are classified as executive trains and have serial numbers K 1 18 01 to K 1 18 96. The complete formation of a Ratangga train consists of Tc1-M2'-M1'-M2-M1-Tc2. [ 23 ]
