Actually, the hole is cut in to get to a keeper in the bottom of the journal box. One of the reason this conversion is now banned from interchange is that even with the lid off and the hole cut in, they are not consistently "seen" by the hot box detectors.
I converted several CNJ coaches to roller bearing using this method while foreman at Steamtown. I understand that since they took over, the NPS has done several more.
