Anyone know what type/kind of trucks this equipment used?

Look to me like 100 ton ASF Ride Control, or 100 ton Barber S2

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

This looks kind of interesting, from Dec., 2003.  The model info on the last 2 pages might be somewhat outdated.

Judging from the numbers written on the sides of the cars:

 

 

I'll go with 70-ton trucks.

The FGE built cars (interior post) are 100 ton cars.
