In 1947 tests were made with 4-8-4 Northern passenger steam locomotive with various amounts and combinations of front and trailer truck lateral resistances on sharp curve, to determine what arrangement gave most favorable lateral force distribution on curve; effect of each variation of resistance on relative stability and riding qualities of locomotive.
