Spatial vibrations of an individual wheelset drive supported by rubber silent blocks in a two–axle bogie's frame of a railway vehicle are studied. The method, used for a creation of a mathematical model, is based on a decomposition of the wheelset drive into subsystems — a drive assembled from an engine and a gear transmission, a flexible composite hollow shaft and a flexible wheelset. Subsystems are modeled in local configuration spaces and they are mutually connected by deformable couplings. An adhesive characteristic in a wheel–rail contact is described using the Kalker's theory. The nonlinear mathematical model respects spatial vibrations of the drive's components and the flexible wheelset, a deformable rail ballast and it is used for investigating transient dynamic responses on different types of excitations. Experimentally investigated spatial bogie's frame displacements or displacements derived from a total model of the bogie caused by spatial irregularities of the rail track are main sources of excitations.
