Charlie,
Many of the car order contracts I've seen indicate that the
truck and draft gear components will by provided by the
Railroad. They would place large orders with the foundries
and have their initials stamped in the side frames.
Another oft ignored fact is that most of the scrap sales
awards required the return of the couplers, draft gear,
and sometimes trucks and wheel sets. I can recall that
once and a while Purdy at Burnham IL would bill a gon of
parts to Havelock.

Gerald-
AFAIK the freight car diagram book was kept up through roller bearing
trucks.... and I don't think the Aurora foundry was doing copy castings for
standard AAR style trucks...the ones with CB&Q marks on them were from the
original manufacturer, I think. A great mystery!!
