The present invention tlierefore@, co@nteni-. plates making the side members of a locomotive frame or bed in sections, b dividing y thei-n ai a suitable point t6 the rear of the inain journal box openin s, and forming,the 9 front portions aiid cross members as an integral structure,. The most suitable point. of division has been found -to be to the rear 6f tile main j'ournal box openinos, between these openings and,,the adjacent openinas to the 45 rear thereof. In the present embocliment, n - dr@wings, the division is as show in th4, I t,,iken between the second and third pairs of box openings the second pair 6f openinlrs. in this particulal,r tyi)e 6f 16com6tiv@,. bei-ng' the main journal opening@. An. i@tegr,ali partial frame is -thus provided which indludes, as an integr@,l casting unit, those parts wherein sul),stantially atl of the undesirable "Workino," of idarts usually take place. Such a structlire is found to have substantially all as the a(lvantalres of an all in,tegral bed or .f rame. 'I'he@e'is no material difference in inaintenance; while on ilie other hand there is a matericti sa.@ing in the cost of manuf aeture. Furthermore the inteo-ral portion, in so the present improved constructl()il, being relatively smail is more easily machined and more readily applied. Moreover it is more @placed and with I cost if occasion @eadily re ess i@equires and lik-ewis@ the -portions to the rear 65 may be replaced witliout in any way disturbll'lg or iaecessi-tatin@, the replacement @of th;e diviae d. b@tween the inain utnal en g 70 jo op @ in and the journal opening @to @ the rear ttiereof i, is odvious that the in-tegral portion may be exten ded soi-newhat rearwardly without departinl , from the spirit of the invention, for, while the Lyreatest advanta ge is believed to be in the provision of an integral frame portion made iio lonlyer than is necessary to attain the desired ei@ds. obviously much of the bene I fits will be attained Pven though the integral so portio n be somewhat longer. @T he:inventionasthussetforth,bein borne 9 in nlind, it further contemplates the addition, a,s part of the integral s,tructure, of one or iiiore of the felatures usually associated witti the forward portion of a locomotive bed, as, 85 for instance, the bum er or bun-II)er seat., the p 7 saddle, cylinders, and boiler guide beari ng seat.
