Mark and Jay had said the key point. The railroads must CUT DOWN THE COSTS! The cheapest way for cutting cost are heavier cars on heavier track. And make things as simple as possible and a 3 axle truck isn´t simple!!! An "upgraded" to 315K former 286K construction will not cost not much more than the 286K, when the design is similar !!! And this is possible! Take my favorite coalcar: The BethGon´s: little bit higher side walls, possible a little bit longer, little bit thicker aluminium panels and one or two braces more at each side. Both trucks are 100ton RB at the Bethgon II so here is no change! BETHGON III ready to delivery - I bet: The first car will be delivered 6 month after the start of construction. With modern CAD programms the development is no problem! And the price isn´t much higher than the Bethgon II price. And the rebuilt of a line into 315K ready track will be made when the rails must be changed - cost not much more than a normal overhaul.
