Interesting  --  this puts different spin on change  --  I understood it 
differently first time around.

I would seriously doubt these to be the Prototype B2B trucks as 1644 got 
the B2A truck, or was actually converted to Interurban, on 
1947.05.02.       Could have been the experimental B2As.

>>>Early in the winter of 1946-1947, 1614 was equipped with modified B-2 trucks and made test trip over interurban to Washington, returned to city service with those trucks.   Although they were not informed of the change of trucks, the operators handling it made many favorable comments as to the superior ride quality of this particular car.
