I have an undated page from a BN diagram book for 21000-22899 that shows the
trucks as "B-1 & cast steel". There are a couple of photos dated 1968 and
1970 in Mike Spoor's Color Equipment Book but I can't see any trust plates.

> 2. A number of these cars were built with National Type B trucks.

> 3. This is a long shot, but here goes. In 1973, five cars were in
