It may not be the posed photos of the 20th Century Limited fleet, but that's a beauty.

It's one of 50 purchased from Cleveland Transit System in 1952-53. Cleveland numbers were 4200-4249. They became TTC 4625-4674. Built by Pullman Standard in 1946.

How much of a job is it to change the trucks' gauge ?

Press the wheels off the axle and press them on a new axle that is the correct length for the new gauge.
