I understand from a knowledgable source that some of these boxcars were built at the Havlock Shops of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy. The cars are not interchangeable with class one railroads due not only to friction bearings but also double hub cast iron wheels, the ones with the spiraled ridges on the inside of the wheel. If retrucked then the cars will need a new air date as well.
