All-Steel, Improved, "Rainier" Truck

This truck is similar to the one shown on the preceding page. It differs only in having the side frames cast in one piece, thus reducing the number of parts and increasing the strength of the truck, a practice originated by us, on logging trucks and which is being widely adapted by leading railroads on standard equipment.

This truck is designed for extreme conditions where the timber is very large and is taken out in long lengths and where load at times will total from 40 to 60 tons.

From the fact that Cast Steel is substituted for structural design the expense of repair parts is practically eliminated while the factor of safety is sufficient to meet all demands unless cars meet with a wreck.

Attention is called to the method of holding the bunk in place by means of a bunk bracket which clamps in position on the half turn. The bunk is prevented from slipping out of position by Bunk Stops which can be seen on the side frames.

This truck is designed for extreme strength and rigidity. It is certain to become one of our most popular types. Both structurally and in appearance it is a high-grade product.
