Photo of the B-end to the left of center - portion of bolster and center sill between bolster and draft gear

View of the center sill portion under the door in the center of the car

Crossbearer joint with side sill under edge of door. Note the open grid type crossbearer with which this particular Duryea underframe was equipped

View of the train line snaking under the center sill, but below the L-sections that "cover" the center sill. This is a very unusual routing of the train line, because of the Duryea underframe.
