Ralston Stl Car Co pictures of N&W freight cars

[NW Mailing List]

I noticed interesting truc k sideframes on many of the cars - they are hybrid cast mainframes with bolt-on journal box es and tie-bars.  The C&O used these also, but on 70-ton truck sideframes.  



How did the N&W spec these out on their diagram sheets?
