How many preserved freight cars have Fox trucks? The Illinois RR Museum has one box car: https://www.midcontinent.org/equipment- ... ouis-4570/ The Northwest Ry Museum had two flat car but one has been scrapped. I believe the mining museum at Butte, MT has at least one box car with Fox trucks but can't verify that. Orange Empire has a BA&P box car with Fox trucks. Any others? |

You say there is a car at IRM, but provide a link to MCRM? |

RMNE has a flatcar (New Haven?) that has the Fox trucks. I'm not sure if I have a pic of it. It is an interesting car. |

Greetings: Steamtown NHS has a wooden B&M(?) boxcar with fox trucks, also, the tender of the Rutland pile driver has them. I would note they both made the move from Bellows Falls to Scranton on their own wheels! J.David |

Back in August of 2016, the Park Service scrapped several wooden cars at Scranton, including Claremont and Concord Railroad Snowplow 60. It was built by the Boston & Maine Railroad Shops some time prior to 1910. C&C was a branch line of the B&M until 1954. According to the NPS, the rear truck was a Fox-patent pressed-steel truck. I do not know if this truck was preserved. |

Eureka Springs & North Arkansas had at least one flat car or the remains thereof equipped with fox trucks. It's been over a decade since I was there so can't confirm that either car or trucks still exist. - Alan Maples |

The Western New York Railroad Historical Society owns ex-NYC snowplow #X-659 originally built in 1889 which has fox trucks albeit re-built with roller bearings. http://www.trainweb.org/wnyrhs/mow.htm |

Last time I was at RRMPA they had a Fox truck or two in the progressive line of trucks outside behind the main building. I don't recall there being a car on Fox trucks though. |

Thanks for all the input. Just for the record the Alco rotaries do not have Fox trucks. They have plate trucks which are very different from the Fox design. |

In the back of my mind I seem to recall the tender of FEC 113 being on Fox trucks.... or maybe a similar style. Perhaps somebody with Gold Coast can chime in. |
