00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,042
The three-axle G1 model steerable truck is a three-motor, three-axle, high-adhesion, steerable type truck designed to carry one-half the weight of the locomotive.

2
00:00:11,042 --> 00:00:19,875
The high adhesion truck of an ES44AC/DC locomotive is designed to increase the adhesion between the wheels and the rail.

3
00:00:19,875 --> 00:00:29,167
Although the high adhesion truck performs as designed on a straight track, a loss of tractive effort occurs when the locomotive encounters a curve.

4
00:00:29,167 --> 00:00:34,875
To maximize the tractive effort on a curved track, the steerable truck was developed.

00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:40,250
<b>Note:</b> The steerable truck can only be used on an AC locomotive.
