Abstract
A tilt control system comprises a roll bar structure having two separate opposite rotatable members attached on the bottom of both sides of the car body between the car body and bolster. A pair of lever arms connect the ends of the rotatable members to the bolster. Means are provided for selectively rotating the rotatable members to actuate the lever arms in opposite directions to force the car body to tilt laterally with respect to the bolster.
