[QUOTE="REALITY098765, post: 12180061, member: 204355"]While that may be true in the west, that's not how it went in ON. As I recall A trains were first then came B trains then came 5 axles and all were good for 140,000 lbs. Backing up a or b trains was very similar, I have no experience with C trains but they came later and afaik were designed so you could dock the lead trailer without dropping the dolly or driving over the plate between the trailers, ie drop the headboard on the pup. Also the c trains didn't have to find a place to leave the dolly on a split load and had some advantage on weight laws in places when split. And for the old guys imagine a b-model mack, 187 hp, triplex and an A train at 140,000 lbs, Armstrong steering bias ply tires backing into the steelmill doors and load 90,000 lbs and head on down the road. Oh yea ''no log books then, in On''. and they didn't push axle weights either.[/QUOTE]
