00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,042
The entire locomotive is supported by two steerable trucks, commonly called the front truck and the rear truck.

2
00:00:07,042 --> 00:00:11,792
These truck assemblies are located directly underneath the locomotive platform.

3
00:00:11,792 --> 00:00:21,208
Each steerable truck, designed to carry one-half of the weight of the locomotive, has three axles that are individually powered by traction motors.

4
00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:33,667
The steerable trucks distribute the locomotive weight equally over the axles, and transfer the tractive effort or pulling force, and braking effort or stopping force, from the locomotive to the rails.
