Todd,
Lackawanna didn't use any of the Erie's General Steel Castings "milk car"
trucks on their cabooses. The DL&W hacks rode on Bettendorf "T" section as
well as double truss. Post merger the EL did apply a set of these trucks to
a Lackawanna steel car, quite possibly 896, but they were NOT original
equipment. Additionally, the Erie/EL was famous for reusing trucks from old
equipment on new as in the case of applying old milkcar trucks to the C-100
series. I would guess that the C-300 and here sisters were riding on used
/reconditioned trucks rather than new ones.
