- Greetings. What trucks did the CB&Q use under the NE-1 to NE-9 way cars in the early 1950s? The C&S way cars appear to have kept their original arch bar trucks till scrapped. Is this correct? The CB&

- I believe some C&S cabooses kept the archbars, but others had cast trucks, as seen here: http://www.crrm.org/train_pics/caboose.htm I recall that a few wood cabooses were rebuilt with electric lights

- I have seen a few photos of C&S waycars with archbars, but many more with cast trucks. Moreover, keep in mind that the C&S was an early adopter of cast trucks. Even its narrow gauge freight cars were

- PS: I should have checked The Colorado Road before hitting "send." Wagner's roster lists that car (10606) as having been built in 1944 by the C&S itself. I still wonder about the provenance of the tr

- Greetings Bob, I suspect that the 10576-10587 and the 10588-10593 series way cars were built with and largely kept their arch bar trucks as they were not required for interchange (and therefore could

- Greetings Jonatahn, I have revisited Hol Wagners book frequently of late BUT... I had overlooked the 10594-612 series. I had also forgotten the picture of 10606 at the CRRM. As it was built in 1944 i

- Seems to me the C&S / FW&D cars commonly carried a form of T-section cast trucks.... and of course, all wood "waycars" on the Q had No.7 Wood Beam trucks.....except for the one sidedoor car that got

- Greetings Charlie, Thank you for your comments. Hol Wagner's "Colorado Road" p 343 shows C&S way car 10578 in Dec 1968 with what appears to be truck bolster constructed of rolled rather than steel. Y

- As a further observation I have since found some C&S caboose pictures and they have a Andrews-pattern (although "flatter" than the common kind) on them. The standard No.7 truck was a CB&Q design. I a

- Greetings Charlie I am most grateful for your insights. Being new to this, I may have mistaken the Andrews pattern trucks for Arch bar trucks on the C&S way cars built in the mid 1920s. The longevity

- Hol Wagner replied to my speculation with the facts... while the FW&D replaced cabooses in worse condition with various Q four window waycars, the C&S never got any cars from the Q. The FW&D also pur

- Greetings Charlie, Many thanks for the answer on the "non-pooling" of the Q/ C&S/ FW&D way cars. I guess the labour unions would have been none too keen on a way car pooling concept. Any idea on the
