Tom,

It looks like car in the photo on page 43 of the Morning Sun book "Chicago Intercity Passenger Trains" has Rockwell trucks. It is hard to be a 100% sure because the angle of the train to photographer.

There is also a picture on page 32 of the same book of the Nebraska Zephyr in October 1968 with three flexi-van flats behind two E units. The first flat had 2 Q flexi-vans, the second flat 2 NYC flexi-vans, and the third flat 2 Q flexi-vans. The cars appear to have Rockwell trucks, but the distance between the photographer and the train along with the resolution of the printed photo only makes me about 80% sure.

Jim did not provide a date for the photo. Jim or Hol, do you have the date for the Flexi-Van photo that was posted?
I just noticed that Hol posted his photo of the CB&Q 96023 in a later message. It was taken in 1965 in Denver. Thanks for the post, Hol. Sorry for forgetting that.

Charlie: When were your photos taken of the Q Flexi-Van cars without the Rockwell trucks?

Bill Hirt: Can you perhaps re-check that 1969 photo of the Flexi-Van flat in the Chicago Intercity Trains book and see if you can tell whether it has Rockwell trucks or some later conventional style truck?
