Abstract
A stabilizer for a railway truck has pairs of inverted “J” metallic profiles that are longitudinally attached to the ends of the respective sides of the railway truck. The front ends of the “J” metallic profiles are being interconnected and rigidly conformed to each another by a tubular bar transversally located in front of the front wheels and behind the back wheels of the railway truck, thus providing stability and squaring to the truck as a whole in relation to the railway tracks.
