A multiple track railroad system for use with two adjacent sets of parallel continuous tracks with the tracks having a distance therebetween and each set of tracks including two continuous rails having a distance therebetween. The railroad system includes an engine for pulling a train that has a set of wheels riding on at least two of the rails, and the engine has a width equal to at least one set of the tracks. The railroad system also includes at least one rail car connected to and propelled by the engine, wherein the rail car spans and extends beyond the outer rails of both sets of tracks. The railroad system further includes at least four car-trucks supporting the rail car, with two of the car-trucks on each of the sets of tracks, and each car-truck includes at least four wheels, with two wheels each riding on opposing rails of a set of the tracks; and trundle carrier assemblies, one each mounted to a bolster on each of the car-trucks with the upper end of the carrier assemblies being attached to the rail car to permit the car-trucks to move vertically or horizontally transverse on the tracks relative to the rail car to accommodate variations in the elevation or distance between the tracks.
Réseau de voies ferrées multiples consistant en deux séries adjacentes de voies ferrées continues et espacées à une certaine distance entre elles, et chaque série de voie comprenant deux rails continus espacés entre eux. Le réseau de voies ferrées comprend une locomotive pour tirer un train muni d'une série de roues reposant sur au moins deux des rails; la locomotive ayant une largeur égale à au moins une série de voies ferrées. Le réseau comprend également au moins un wagon attaché à la locomotive et propulsé par cette dernière, le wagon recouvrant ou dépassant les rails extérieurs des deux séries de voies ferrées. Le réseau comprend de plus au moins quatre bogies supportant le wagon, deux des bogies étant de chaque côté de la voie ferrée, chaque bogie comprenant au moins quatre roues, deux roues sur chaque rail opposé de la voie ferrée; enfin, des porte-roues, un chacun étant monté sur une traverse sur chacun des bogies, la partie supérieure des porte-roues étant fixée au wagon afin de permettre aux bogies de se déplacer à la verticale ou à l'horizontale sur les rails par rapport au wagon, afin de compenser pour toute variation de hauteur ou de distance entre les rails.
