Andrews Trucks
A
contemporary of both the Archbar and the Bettendorf (A.A.R. Standard) trucks.
It’s cast frame design was less prone to failure and allowed the use of expensive,
serviceable journal boxes left-over from retired Archbar Trucks. The two main
spotting features are the bolts that attach to the journal boxes and the tie-bars
from the bottom of each journal box to the diagonal of the casting.

Roller Bearing Trucks
(Symington Ride Control) Though testing was complete on fully
equipped Trains in 1930, this style didn’t become standard until 1956. Then
in 1966 the A.A.R. made them required on all new cars. Rebuilt cars were included
in 1970 and by 1978 more than 70% of north America’ rolling stock was roller
bearing equipped. |
