Seeing the picture of Number 91 pulling into Staples Street Station reminded me of a question that I have been meaning to ask. The trucks on the sleepers have a wide bar on the outside of them and stretch from one axle to the other. The bar starts at the axle, dips downward, then is parallel to the car body until it reaches the other axle, where it rises and attaches to the axle.  Or it seems to be attached to the axle or axle housing. This is the same truck that I see on the transition sleeper, as well as some of the other sleepers, on the Texas Eagle. The coach cars don't have this type of truck.  This is also true of the coaches on the Eagle and, if memory serves me correctly, the dinning and lounge cars. What is the difference between the two trucks?  And why is it important?
