["Nelson Moyer" <ku0a@mchsi.com>]

I’m trying to fill in a chart of Q freight car trucks. I have some information from various sources, but I’m not sure of the accuracy, and there are many blanks. Here’s what I have so far.

No. 26                                    Arch bar 40 ton

No. 27A                                 

No. 31                                   

No. 37                                    Arch bar 40 ton (2 in. shorter than No. 26)

?                                              T-section

No. 39                                   

No. 48A                                  Andrews U-section 50 ton truck

No. 49                                    Cast steel

No. 55                                    AAR 50 ton double truss

No. 56                                    National B-1

No. 56B                                 

No. 57                                   

No. 58B                                  AAR 50 ton standard spring plankless double truss self-aligning

No. 60                                   

No. 65                                    ARA double-truss, self-aligning

No. 68                                    National B-1

I would appreciate any missing information and any corrections to the information above. There are some obvious discrepancies.

 

Thanks.
