58-Ton Hopper Car for Technological Chips

This eight-wheel covered car is designed for hauling technological chips from the place of production to the consumers. It is also convenient for hauling bulk freight with a low unit weight.

The artistic and constructional design of the car meets the modern aesthetic requirements.

The strong underframe of the car welded from two Z-sections, cross, end and side sills, and pivot beams has a high rigidity. It is carried on two standard four-wheel trucks with soft spring suspension and roller bearings having an increased service life.

The lightweight all-metal welded body mounted on the underframe is designed in the form of a metal framework lined with steel sheets. The bottom part of the body consists of three double hoppers equipped with drop doors. To ensure complete discharging of the load, the end walls are inclined inward at an angle of 40. The body is closed on top with a framed roof. Convenient loading of the car is performed through a slot hatch arranged along it.

Rapid unloading is performed on both sides through six wide drop doors, which are opened by means of a special mechanism with a pneumatic drive.

The car is equipped with standard automatic brake equipment, a holding brake and type CA-5 couplers, which on Customers' request can be replaced with equipment of other types.

Electrification of railways in our country

Since 1971 electric traction has accounted for half of the total traffic on the railways.

Lines have been electrified both in plain areas and in mountains. Super lines have been set up electrified all through.

In order to meet the constantly growing demand for hauling freight and to ensure a further increase of weights and speed of trains on electrified  lines,  locomotives are to be used,  both DC and AC types, which are unparalleled in world practice as far as their traction and performance characteristics are concerned.
