CSX 6899         
Some people call these Blomberg trucks, but according to the EMD catalogs, these are GPSS trucks. GPSS = General Pourpose, Single Shoe brakes. This beast has the rubber pads that replace the leaf springs, updated roller bearings (not Hyatt), and a flange lubricator, along with some nice yaw dampers. Something tells me this is really meant for high speed service.
