This truck is especially adapted to use on Logging Railroads, where an uneven track demands a flexible running gear and an extremely strong frame. These requirements are carried out in this design by placing the springs over the Journal Boxes and making the frame of extra heavy Iron Bars. The simplicity of the design also appeals to the operators, making it necessary to carry but few extra parts for repairs.
