Abstract
A system for transversely aligning railway rolling stock on the rails including electromagnets arranged outside the wheel base of the rolling stock axles. The electromagnets are transversely aligned to the rails and separated from the rails by air-gaps. Movement of the rolling stock from off-centre produces a restoring force from the magnets.
