Most shops have no ability to swap trucks or even axles. ARCH has 20 ton crane and turntable to change out trucks...we can change out a complete axle assembly on a specific truck but it is not effecatious unless dealing with major truck modifications. If 'a wheel is slid throgh service metal,' wheel gauging determines ability to resurface through Simmons wheel lathe....takes about 45 minutes in NYCTA for a single truck.....longer for 'other railroads.' Easier for us to change out entire truck than to wait upn work of others. |
