Thanks for the pointer to the other thread, Chris.

Bill, note on the 4th car that the two lighter areas under the doors go straight down, as opposed to the more sloped shape of the journal boxes on the other cars.  I read that as them being needle beams and/or queen posts rather than journal boxes, and that the 4th car is therefore a truss frame (whereas the first three are steel under frame).

The lack of prominent journal boxes on that car might also suggest that it’s a phase 1 (with arch bar trucks), but that would be pushing the envelope a bit more.

Cheers,
Jeff.
