#503 Standard Arch Bar Truck with Ready-To-Mount Couplers 1
Pair

The Arch Bar Truck is typical of these trucks from around the
turn of the century. Despite the age of these trucks, they saw
more than seventy years of service in some applications. The arch
bar was allowed in interchange service until about 1941. On
railroads that were not common carriers such as
logging or other industrial lines, this restriction of the trucks
did not apply since the trucks did not operate on rails other
than the owner's. The Northern Pacific, for example, used truss
rod frame maintenance of way cars fitted with arch bar trucks
well into the early 1970's. Many logging railroads also used them
at least until then.
