With respect to the folio sheet for 1003  I ask myself, why should I disbelieve the written information about trucks and bolsters?  Hard to believe that it was just written on the sheet in error.  With the diagram right there contradicting the information, I can't believe that it was written there inadvertently.  It's either purposeful misinformation, or fact.  And what possible motivation would there be for intentional misinformation?

Seems quite reasonable that the long-bodied cars could have been so bad at staying on the rails with the 4-wheel short-wheelbase undercarriage that they were put on trucks sometime early in their lives.

my two cents worth,
John
