A two-piece rail wheel assembly is disclosed herein that allows a tire to be replaced without requiring disassembly of the rail vehicle or removal of components directly attached to the axle. In various embodiments, the rail wheel assembly comprises a center wheel hub attached to an axle of a railway vehicle and a tire configured to engage the rail. The center wheel hub and the tire may be bolted together via a stepped (or recessed) interface. When used with in-board bearing configurations, this rail wheel assembly does not require using a press machine, detaching the truck assembly from the rail car, or detaching the wheelset from the truck. When used with out-board bearing configurations, this rail wheel assembly eliminates the need to use a press machine or remove any other components of the wheelset from the axle.
