I remember as a kid seeing 311 with leaf spring Blomberg trucks. I know that the 300s were rough riders first hand. I was assigned an ex B&M GP40-2 last week on my D&H assignment. Was the swap due to an experiment on the ride? Maybe a spare set was used for use during truck overhauls, or even due to a wreck, possibly? I remember the brake rigging was converted to single shoe.
