Abstract The flanges of a wheel pair restrict its lateral displacements with respect to the track. The rolling of the flange onto the rail head is an extremely dangerous regime of motion which can lead to a crash. The identification of conditions generating such a regime is complicated by high order of the model of the system, rather large difference between natural frequencies, and essential nonlinearity. To analyze the motion of carriages, both simplified models (e.g., those of [1, 2]) and multibody models (e.g., [3]) have been utilized. Contact forces between the wheel and the rail can be modeled by Coulomb friction. In this case, additional conditions should be added to account for the possibility of slip [1, 2]. If the contact forces in the multibody model are accounted for by Carter's hypothesis, the analysis is complicated by high order of the model and large number of parameters [3]. Analysis of crash situations indicates that derailment of carriages occurs mostly on curved segments of the track [4].

In the present paper, we utilize the methods of separation of motions to construct an approximate mathematical model in which the number of degrees of freedom and parameters is reasonably small to enable one to investigate the appearance of emergency conditions by means of analytical methods.
