Selected
center plate
as it is (1) American (I assume, since you are based in the USA), and (2) part of the bogie itself. This, from the UIC Railway Dictionary.
Most of the postings above refer to the plate on the car underframe itself.

That's what Langenscheidt Technik has under "Bahn". Under Maschinen it offers bearing socket and pivot bearing.

swivel plate
or swivel bearing plate
A big greased bearing plate on the bogie which spreads the weight of the wagon load. Rather like the plate you can see on the back of a big articulated truck (called the tractor unit) when it has no trailer attatched.
