Mr. Stahl - <br /> <br />Often would you find a drop table in a steam locomotive roundhouse. While tires could often be changed and contoured while on the engine, journals could not, and some means had to be provided for getting the wheels (drivers and trucks) out from under the engine so that they could be taken to a machine shop for journal work. N&W had them at most major engine terminals, and I'm sure other railroads did, too. <br /> <br />Old Timer
