Description

The wheel is probably the single most important item used by the railroad industry. Although the wheel has changed little in appearance or shape since its earliest use, many refinements have been made to meet today's challenges. As always, with changes come questions regarding cost, durability, and safety. These concerns are major factors to be considered in the advancement of railroading.
