If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles.

Date: 01/29/08 13:32. Re: Freight car truck weight. Author: wingomann. On the trucks I have delt with in Niles Canyon the friction bearing 50 ton rated freight car trucks weigh roughly 5 tons. Each wheel set is about 1 ton (2300 lbs on some ones I've dealt with). A four wheel passenger truck is roughly 7 tons. Six wheel around 11 tons.
The semi-truck without the trailer weighs around 20,000 lbs. An empty trailer weighs around 12,000 lbs, but it depends on what type of trailer it is. There are hundreds of different configurations. The point is...the maximum legal weight that an 18-wheeler can weigh is 40 tons (80,000 lbs). If they weighed any more, then they would damage the roads more rapidly than they are even now. But a semi-truck can exceed that limit for certain situations.
