Jacobs bogie

Dallas Area Rapid Transit rail trains originally used a center bogie in a two-car unit but these have been modified to add a lower center section for handicapped level entry making a 3-car unit with two Jacobs bogies.

Vehicles featuring Jacobs bogies include the British Rail Class 370, Alstom-made TGV, KTX-I, KTX-Sancheon and Class 373 High speed trains, the Bombardier Talent series of multiple units, the LINT41, the Class 423 S-Bahn vehicles, the Canadian CN Turbo-Trains, several FLIRT trains,[3] IC3 by Adtranz, the JR Central L0 Series maglev and the Škoda ForCity tram.In Australia, Jacobs bogies were first used in 1984–85 on B class Melbourne trams, which were designed to run on two former suburban railways which had been converted to light rail operation.

A number of intermodal freight trains, such as the Pacer Stacktrain run by US logistics company XPO, Inc., use container well cars joined in groups of three to five, with four side bearings on top of the bolster of a standard North American bogie between the individual cars.

Some triple-bogied two-section electric locomotives such as the NZR EW class have an articulated body supported on the centre bogie.

They were suited for streets with tight curves, the Chicago El and running through the countryside at approximately 140 km/h (87 mph).
