deep pocket frames
(1/1)
romiin:
Just wondering why they had the deep pocket frames. Does it raise the height of the car with the trucks been mounted under the pocket?
Terry:
Are you talking about the deep dish frames used on late 2800 series freight cars?
If so. . . the dish raises the car frame to match the cars with the earlier high bolsters. The 800/2800 series cars had trucks with higher bolsters than the 1680 series trucks.
Here's some photos that show the difference. The truck with nickel journals is the higher 800/2800 series truck.
romiin:
got it! thanks Terry
