Those are Allied Full Cushion trucks -- a ride control type truck developed in 
1939 and used on the Q's first XM-32 boxcars, including the ones in express 
service, and also the truck used on the Army kitchen cars that were purchased 
after World War II and converted into express cars.  The Q removed the Allied 
trucks from all the express cars in the early-mid-1950s and substituted 
"Bettendorf" style A-3 Ride Control turkcs.  The Allied trucks were banned from 
interchange service in the early 1960s, leaving the Q with a lot of trucks they 
could no longer use.  They put one pair on an NE-12 waycar and another on this 
one when it received its side door (in 1962?) for use on the Sterling, 
Colo.-Cheyenne, Wyo. mixed train.

Thanks for the photo! That's exactly what I was looking for. What kind of 
trucks are those?
