This truck is from the last remaining open-air wooden coach used at CSRR. I'm pretty sure the car is of B&M heritage...(considering the truck is stamped "B&M" above the journal box.)

At any rate...you've got to love these olde-tyme trucks with the brakes mounted on the inside and the massive grease build-up on the wheel face!!! I also liked the stencil work on the axles which read: "CAPTIVE USE ONLY"
