> New superliners will need six axle trucks

I think you mean "two three axle trucks". The reason for the three axle trucks arose in the 1890s when steel passenger cars started getting heavy, with two-axle truck axle loadings which were too great for the relatively light rail cross sections used in the main lines of the time.
