Twoplate fillers are riveted between the cen-ter sills over the front and back edgesof each center plate, so that above thecenter plate sills and bolster form a whatmay be likened to a steel box. There are two very heavy truss rodswhich run fore and aft under the are pinned at each end to two eyeswhich are riveted to the top plate of thebody bolster.
