This acts as a sole plate of the bogie frame. It runs parallel to the<br />
track, two side frames are joined together at the centres by bolster and by two<br />
head stocks at the ends. They maintain correct distance between the side<br />
frames as well is squareness and alignment of the bogie. On each side frame,<br />
two horn gaps are provided near the ends for fixing axle boxes. In the central<br />
position, control spring hanger bracket is fitted. Two inner and two outer cap<br />
pressings have been provided to strengthen the opening of the sole plate<br />
provided for the insertion of shackle pins. Spring stops have been welded on<br />
sole plate/top flange.
