With the single wheel on axle the worst bearing for maintenance is on inside. since wheels are taperd the inside bearing needs to be a dual bearing, both for load and as trust bearing since axle wants to go to insde due to wheel taper.
With a solid axle the axle carries the inward trust of both wheels.
And since every wheel needs to be replaced once it travels x amount of feet of the rail it becomes a maintenance headache.
