If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles.

Date: 01/29/08 13:32. Re: Freight car truck weight. Author: wingomann. On the trucks I have delt with in Niles Canyon the friction bearing 50 ton rated freight car trucks weigh roughly 5 tons. Each wheel set is about 1 ton (2300 lbs on some ones I've dealt with). A four wheel passenger truck is roughly 7 tons. Six wheel around 11 tons.
Bigger engines, more gears in the trans, bigger heavier sleepers, bigger fuel tanks, and other things add to the weight. Trucks pulling vans tend to be the heaviest, with flatbed and bulk haulers being more weight conscious. My company truck weighs in at 18,000 for the truck, driver, full fuel, and all my gear. My trailers run right at 10,000, and cargo typically is 48-50,000 for a road weight betwen 76-78k most times.
