In this paper it was performed curve negotiation analysis of three axle bogie of locomotive type JŽ 461. This locomotive has large distance between first and middle i.e. middle and last axle, which leads to increased lateral forces during curve negotiation. Final result might be widening of track gauge in curves with small radius. This paper points that Infrastructure Manager must take into account vehicle performances and type of track when defines track gauge in curves.
