Trucks on Lancaster and Chester Box Car
Mark Rossiter
I am still trying to become proficient in identifying the various freight car trucks. Would someone please identify the trucks under this Chester and Lancaster box car? I believe they have spring planks, but I am no expert.

Somewhat off topic, but not entirely. The writing No Wage Freeze dates this photo to the President Nixon-Ford years. I remember it well along with WIN buttons.

Yes on the 1957 photograph. Looks like no on the 1971 photograph. Jim Gates

First one appears to be a Barber sideframe with spring plank (Tahoe or Exactrail perhaps?). The second photo is a Barber without a spring plank (Branchline truck). Tim O'Connor P.S. We could really use an UPDATE of the Richard Hendrickson PDF of model trucks, as at least a dozen new and quite excellent trucks have been produced since that document was finished.
