Motion equations are derived for train consisting of lead unit and any number of four-wheeled trailers; lateral tire forces are recognized as major factor determining vehicle's directional behavior; analysis of dynamical behavior of three-unit train is applied to obtain yawing angle response curves for six-unit train configuration; responses are discussed and shown graphically with emphasis placed on determination of significant vehicle parameters and their influence on directional performance of train-type vehicles.
