>Here is photo of front B3 Experimental truck of 1614 when car was still new to Interurban service  --  she sports the Black letters on white  WASHINGTON  destination sign so assume this to be the summer of 1946 yet.       This still has features of when it was installed under 1230(?)       URL at very bottom of email  --  3200-dpi.

>>>Truck under 1614 near end of Wash County Interurban service not unlike production B3 from what can be seen. Have a photo somewhere that I believe is summer of 1946 showing the trucks for 1614 slightly and the supports for the track brake springs are arched ala the B3 experimental under the 12s.
