Many of CN's 4-axle MLW road units used
a lightweight version of the Type B truck. It has a shorter wheelbase
than the standard Type B (8' 10" instead of 9' 4") and lacks the central
leaf springs. A standard Type B truck can be seen on CN FPA4 6765
above.

Buick on the rails! This car bears
little resemblance to today's hi-rail pickup trucks, which have small metal
wheels that can be lifted off the tracks when the truck is driven on roads.
This car has the tires replaced by metal wheels, permanently relegating
it to the tracks. Note the four air horns.
