The photo of 1614 is one of the trucks which came from 1230 (the second pair
built). This version was finished in August 1945, but I don't know how they
spent several months before placing under 1614.
The B-2 truck under 1613 seems to have installed a "swing link snubber".
This was probably the actual difference from other B-2 trucks of that
period! Picture attached.
