All:
I got the below from another list. Does anyone have any more information, or
know a way I can find out what type of trucks are being referred to by the
side frame pattern?

The DL&W Freight Car Classification book lists the details for these cars as
follows:

"100 cars have A.S.F. side frame pattern No. 21359-AE..."

"150 cars have Symington-Gould side frame pattern No. TF-5318..."

No mention is made whether or not a particular batch from the series got
which sideframes...

Tim: I have that also, but from a modeling standpoint it doesn't help me
know if the trucks are double truss spring plankless, ASF A-3 ride control,
barber S-2 etc. My 1957 CBC is of no help either.
