Abstract:
A method for making a railcar having a span bolster is disclosed. The method involves fabricating and joining the components of the span bolster in a manner such that a camber is built into span bolster. A camber is cut into longitudinal supports that span the length of the bolster. A jig is used to shape top and bottom plates prior to attaching the plates to the longitudinal supports, thus forming the bolster. Truck assemblies are attached to the bolster and a railcar body mounted to the combined unit.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein forcing the top plate comprises:\n placing a topside of the top plate against the first jig, wherein the first jig is concave; placing the longitudinal stringer on an underside of the top plate; applying a downward force on the longitudinal stringer, wherein the longitudinal stringer transfers the force onto the top plate, thereby pressing the top plate to conform to the contour of the first jig.
