      @@Idiocracy343 i thought the coneshape is for driving curves. The wheels getting pushed to the side and the bigger diameter of the wheel runns outside, the smaler inside. it reduces the friction on the tracks. Its necessary because its a rigid axle.
      But maybe its both of this, a well engineered machine.

    I used to think a train wheel is just a round , flat disc with a flange on one side.
    Later I learnt just how much complexity and science is there behind a modern train wheel ; how exact and precise its shape is.
    It is certainly not just a round,flat disc.

    Fun fact : The wheels are conical.
    The wheels aren't cylindrical but a section of a double cone which helps the bogie to manoeuvre round the curves. Flange is for change of tracks.

    • @atrium8609

      The flange is also for the wheels to stay on the tracks. And the tracks are slightly inclined inwards for the better wheel run. Clever.

Even today, I get uneasy, if I am riding on train running at really superfast speeds....just a phobia though.

    Good video! If the conical wheel is say 3 inches wide, I wanted to see how the Flange moves away or close to the track while on turning. If you can shoot, showing both wheels while on curve it would be wonderful

    I never thought that two metals rolling one each other will be so interesting to watch.

    Hats off to the camera man who risked his life just for 10 minutes of enjoyment.

    Just keep staring... it looks like it's in reverse.
    What if the flanger was running on a wobbly track? That would be for an interesting ride video.

    There’s such thing as a flange? Phoebe was right.

    It is an animation that understands the trust relationship between the rail and the flange.

    Just proves the flange of the train wheel does NOTHING

    Looks pretty mesmerizing, no doubt...disk brakes, awesome speed and so on... And l thought: still iron against iron, just like two centuries ago...
