What is the correct four wheel truck for the 3500 series 60 ft.
express car?  Thanks

It can either be Commonwealth or Burnett trucks.  The cars were originally
built with Commonwealth trucks.  A number were rebuilt in the 1920's with
steel reinforced under frames, ends(SUF) and Burnett trucks.

There were 132 all wood Mail and Mail Express cars and 71 SUF cars in the
roster.
