Abstract
An adjustable cab isolator bracket is provided for adjusting the height of an isolated cab of a locomotive. Alternatively, the adjustable bracket may adjust spring loading of an isolated locomotive cab. The adjustable cab isolator bracket generally comprises a spring retainer adapted to engage a spring and mountable to the underframe, and a bracket body for receiving and engaging the spring retainer and mountable to the cab. The adjustable bracket may further be fixed to the isolated locomotive cab. In this arrangement, the bracket body is adapted to receive and engage at least a portion of the spring retainer. The engagement between the spring retainer and the bracket body is adaptable to selectively adjust a portion of the spring retainer to be received by the bracket body in relation to a spring, thereby adjusting cab height or spring loading in relation to the underframe.
