[edit] Baldwin vs. C-Liner trucks
"In late 1950, the Baldwin trucks were replaced with the same units found on the company's "C-liner" locomotives." This can't be right. Using http://www.thedieselshop.us/FM_H1644.HTML as a reference for when different units were built, and http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/acy/acy.html as a source of photos... ACY 206 http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/acy/acy206.jpg was built in 1954 and has AAR B trucks. ACY 207 http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/acy/acy207.jpg was built in 1955 and has C-Liner trucks.

- Nice catch! I looked into this further, and on p. FM-334 of Pinkepank's Second Diesel Spotter's Guide there is a photograph of ACY 204 taken in 1954 with the caption indicating that it was "...unusual in still having the type B road truck, 4 years after the C-Liner truck was adopted for most H-16-44 production." I've modified the article text accordingly.--Lord Kinbote 18:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
