When the EBT hoppers were delivered they were without journal brasses. And it turned out the brasses they used were a bit unusual, the only cars on the C&TS with the same brasses were the UTLX tank cars. And the C&TS did not have any (or at least many) spares. I seem to remember initially brasses were "stolen" from UTLX cars to put some of the EBT cars into service. I am curious as to when and how this problem was solved. I am assuming it was solved since most of the UTLX cars are again roadable.
