			Abstract:

			: In order to allow inter-operation of equipment on multiple tracks a series of standard dimensions have been developed that apply to the design, production, and inspection of wheels and wheelsets (two wheels and an axle). The information that follows discusses some of the reasons for certain dimensions and provides guidance as to the selection of specific values for all required dimensions.
