Abstract
An exhaust duct system for a track-guided vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine having a fixed section extending through the interior of the vehicle and a section projecting above the roof of the vehicle for channeling exhaust gases into a force-vented exhaust channel. Transverse movements of the vehicle, with respect to the exhaust channel, are allowed for by providing for lateral movement of the transfer pipe on the roof-side section of the exhaust duct system. A connecting element forms a transition between the transfer pipe and the pipe ends of the fixed exhaust duct section. This connecting element is sealed with respect to the surroundings and is movable about a longitudinally extending pivot axis. The connecting element can be a pleated metal bellows or two pipe shells arranged concentrically to each other and to the pivot axis.
