The weight of an individual train wheel can differ depending on the train type and the specific components used.
Typically, a standard wheel assembly made from steel and ductile alloys weighs between 235 and 480 pounds. Lighter assemblies generally support loads of around 10,000 pounds, while heavier ones can handle up to 40,000 pounds.
However, it's essential to understand that this is only an average estimate, and the actual weight may vary based on factors such as wheel design, dimensions, and material composition. Furthermore, wheel weights can differ across various types of train cars.
