When I was doing time studies on repair of wrecks in Topeka Shops in the 1970s, I was surprised to see odd holes punched ( not burned with a torch) in the body bolsters of FE-24s. A little investigation led me to former passenger service assignments. Seems like I was also able to find where the brackets had been removed that held up the end valves and piping. All of the Allied Full Coil trucks were gone by this time.

The Fe-24s numbered 4100-4399 carried the BX mechanical designation with a note that they were equipped for high speed passenger service with steel wheels, steam and signal lines.

You sure about that Jim ? None of these cars have steam or signal lines. On 4/25/2020 2:04 AM, Jim Gates via groups.io wrote: Specifically, the 200 Fe-24 delivered for passenger
service came with the Allied Full Cushion. The other 300 came
with Barber S2 trucks. When 100 of these were modified for
passenger service some got A-3 trucks. And most of the
original passenger service cars either traded with the
remaining freight ones or received A-3 trucks. All the Allied
full Cushions disappeared in the late 40s. There are pictures
of Fe-24 cars with other experimental trucks in the late 40s,
these were short lived one shots.

I have been looking on the web for several days trying to find clear photos of Santa Fe's class Fe-24 and Fe-28 50' double door boxcars. I have a kit for each (P2K for Fe-24, Branchline for Fe-28), and I need to know what kind of trucks each one had, and check out other details before I proceed with the builds. The FE-24 cars got ASF A-3 trucks later
(many were delivered with Allied Full Cushion). The
-28s were delivered with A-3. This from the
Hendrickson book on ATSF auto cars.
