Dave:
I kinda doubt the caboose was originally fitted with a 70-ton truck,
for which the U-1 wheel was designed, and therefore did NOT
have the yellow ball. Cabooses on the old NS were fitted with 40-ton
trucks. Because the cabin car was no longer operable, it probably
didn't hurt to mix the wheel sets Since the cabin car was retired in
1963, there may have been other wheel set recalls I'm not familiar with.
