An introduction to Mr. Gary Wolf, one of the world's foremost experts on derailment investigations. Listen to some railroad history, then Mr. Wolf will talk about the suspension system on locomotive trucks.

There will be more videos from Mr. Wolf coming on how to use wheel gauges and also videos on the damping systems of various freight car trucks and the differences between the types of trucks.
