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 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein forcing the bottom plate comprises:\n placing an underside of the bottom plate against the second jig, wherein the second jig is convex; placing the longitudinal stringer on a top side of the bottom plate; applying a downward force on the longitudinal stringer, wherein the longitudinal stringer transfers the force onto the bottom plate, thereby pressing the bottom plate to conform to the contour of the second jig.
