<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">There may, however, be some more fine points to the explanation that others might be able to supply. I recall reading that diesel locomotive wheel treads have either less taper than rail cars, or have no taper. I am not sure about steam locomotives. If this is true, I would like to know why these powered wheels lack taper. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">To my eye, the blind drivers on steam locomotives that have them appear to lack taper on the tread.</span></span></p>
