Chrysler trucks
|
Besides frequent application to General American box cars I
just noticed that first box car page of the 1953 CBC has a photo of DL&W 10039, a 1950 Magor built 40' box car -- and what do you know? Chrysler trucks! This is the earliest car I've seen with these trucks. There's a good photo of the plain bearing Chrysler FR-5E on page 977 of the 1953 CBC too, and a drawing for the roller bearing version on page 981. Anyone ever compiled a list of all the cars equipped with the Chrysler-patent trucks? Tim O'Connor |

You can add B&M cabooses as equiped with the Chrysler truck. The shock is very prominent in photos. Fred Freitas

The PRR used the Chrysler truck under X41B boxcars which were built in 1948.
