An analysis is presented describing the effect that track twist has on the loads carried by the wheels of a rail car. Wheel unloading is determined as a function of the difference in crosslevel between the truck centers of the car. The different vehicle characteristics that affect a car's reaction to track twist are determined. It is found that light, torsionally stiff cars are the most susceptible to wheel unloading due to track twist.
