<p>You know what also works? If it looks right, and you don't know better, run it! I used to have no problem running a 1940s era UP covered hop. in cement service, until I learned about the different trucks and realized the friction-bearing trucks on it would never be allowed nowadays. </p><p>I still run it, BTW. I saw a photo of a car with friction-bearing sideframes, but with the modern wheelsets. I might modify the side frames and patch the car for my home road or a leasing company, but for now I can live with it.</p><p> Same goes for an ex-MSL 40' box, heavily weathered and patched for my home road. </p>
