One thing I noticed by taking the pictures was the old friction bearing wheels. They don't have rust on them because they always have oil on them. Funny how you can be around things for so long but not really pay attention. There are no inner seals to the journal boxes so of coarse the wheels would have oil on them that over the years caught dirt producing a greasy build up.
