00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,125
The reaction arms and wing plate assembly arrangement helps to ensure that the two axles are acting in equal and opposite direction.

2
00:00:08,125 --> 00:00:15,000
As the end axles rotate in equal and opposite direction in yaw, the reaction arms rotate relatively.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,500
The wing plate assembly will displace inward or outward relative to the truck frame depending upon the direction of steering.

4
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:31,000
For example, if the left-side wing plate assembly displaces inward, the right-side wing plate assembly will displace outward.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,000
<b>Note:</b> As the end axles rotate in equal and opposite direction, wheel/rail flange forces are reduced.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,750
This reduction in flange forces reduces wheel flange and rail gage face wear.

7
00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:48,333
Also, pulling adhesion in curves is increased.
