#9 Roller Bearing Trucks The number of cars equipped with roller bearing trucks is increasing and our attention is called to provisions of Rule 825; the importance of taking necessary precautions and setting hand brakes on such cars when left standing.

In switching and moving these cars, if a light hand brake is left applied or air brake not fully bled. off and released, the wheels will slide much more easily on these cars than on friction type journals. It is, therefore, important that when these cars are being switched or moved, hand bakes and air brakes be fully released.

Wabash cars in series 300-319 (75 ft. piggyback flat cars are equipped with special AB type air brakes, consisting of two air cylinders, two air reservoirs, one AB valve complete and one relay valve. These cars are equipped with two release rods on each side of car and in order to properly deplete air, it is necessary to see that both release rods are pulled to avoid any possibility of brakes sticking, resulting: in slid flat wheels.
