Re: DRGW Kitchen & Dining Car #0270

I stand corrected, though I'd imagine there still must be some other reason they're generally not favored today. CRRM is a small but fun insular loop, and 0Y hardly sees daily service. I had seen the J&S trucks from 566 but I don't recall them featuring the paper wheels, unless they were replaced at some point. [ngdiscussion.net]

To add to the list though, the tourist sleeper sitting in the D&SNG Museum has Paper wheelsets as well. I'd expect if that car were ever refurbished and put into service they too would be replaced. As I recall however, the interior and story behind this car had enough merit for Bradshaw management to choose just to preserve the car as is upon arrival from Black Hill Central or wherever.
