an AAR standard). They had "Pressed Steel" ends, Duryea underframes, Royal Type F brake gear regulators and the brake wheels were as follows: 71000-71799 - Ajax, 71800-71999 - Universal. There are a few good in service photos available from the Colorado Hist. Soc., plus two builder's photos from the Merrilees Collection in the Canadian Nat'l Archives. They were rebuilt with steel in place of the wood beginning in 1949. Howard Ameling offered a photo of the rebuilt steel version, albeit a poor photo.
