I'm sure somebody here will be able to give you a specific call on this, but I believe they are Bettendorf trucks. And I may not be spelling that name correctly. They are, as I understand, the older style truck and the caps at the ends of the axles on the sideframe were filled with oil for lubrication.
The modern roller-bearing truck is now the standard and I think only allowed possibly type of wheel on today's railroads.
Am I in the right neighborhood in my explanation on this, anyone?
