It's an M-26. The M-26 had the early ARA underframe with 5 foot from bolster kingpin to striker distance (most freight cars use 5 foot 6 inch) which places the wheels closer to the end of the car. All of the B&O M-26 variations except for the M-26b used the 1923 ARA body rivet pattern. So, no, it's not an X29 clone. If anything you could say the X29 is a clone of the ARA design since the first X29's appeared in 1924. :-) Tim O'Connor https://www.flickr.com/photos/railphotoart/24148138943/sizes/k/ |
