Abstract
A method of propelling a transit vehicle steered by a centerline electrified structural guidebeam located between two special steel load-bearing rollway beams, using magnetic linear motors suspended between each pair of steerable load-bearing wheels, to react inductively on the rollway beams, to produce tractive effort by four linear motors mounted under an eight wheel car.
