Notes:
Available with hi-rail (#822HR) or scale (#822S) wheels. These are advertised as 50-ton trucks, but because they use three springs, these are 70-ton trucks, if 33" wheels are used. If 36" wheels are used, these would be 100-ton trucks. 50-ton trucks also have a shorter wheelbase than the 70- and 100-ton trucks.
