| All - Nobody has produced documents that ban the trucks. We know there was a upgrade solution that the Q and others implemented. The sections cited likely reference the unmodified Allied Full Cushion trucks and not banning those that had been fixed. If we had access to the AFE expenditure approvals we might gain some insight into when and why the Burlington changed the cars so equipped.

Thanks for your research on this topic. A 1959 ban is much later than most of us would have thought.

Subject: Re: [CBQ] Allied trucks in freight service
I have found the finial chapter on Allied trucks, at least nationwide. A letter dated May 22nd 1953 pointed out failures when operated in passenger trains. A letter dated April 28th 1954 was sent to railroads recommending better maintenance.
Date unknown, ballot sent to railroads recommending banning Allied trucks Jan. 1st 1955. No action taken. Jan. 5th 1955, AAR car committee recommends all Allied Full Cushion trucks be upgraded with improved swing hangers and shoes. And then sometime 1958
AAR car committee announces interchange ban effective Jan. 1st 1959.
