I suspect that you are correct, The original 4'8" whell base trucks made by American Steel Foundries Pattern #7365 50000 # were of the Andrews Pattern. When the D&RGW had UTLX order the new trucks for use on the Van Dyke Tank Cars, They went to ASF who either revised thier Pattern or made a new one (7365A) to make a 60000# truck.

Since it was a revision of an Andrews Design I thought that calling it an Andrews with Intregal Journals would be acceptable. Guess not!

I Stand corrected.
