Re: DL&W trucks (was:Interstate RR Hoppers)

The STMFC site referenced also has a photo of a DL&W hopperAndy, they're fifty ton T-section Bettendorfs. The reason they strike you as "pregnant" is partly the angle from the which the photo was taken but mostly the fact that the thirty and forty ton T-sections you're used to seeing under PFE reefers and the like had more delicate looking side frames with smaller cross sections.
