It was mounted under the experimental EMD SD45X, and applied to a majority of EMD Dash 2 (improved 40 series), and 50 series and 60 series six axle units built by EMD. It has two brake cylinders on the end axles when equipped with single shoe per wheel brakes, a shock absorber on the middle one and has an end transom on the fuel tank side to hold the #3 and #4 motors in line with the #2 and #5 motors, unlike the Flexicoil truck which these two face the #2 and #5 motor under the engine. The secondary suspension was changed to rubber compression springs from coil springs as on the Flexicoil truck.The objective of these significant changes was lower weight shift between axles under power and braking to improve adhesion.Externally, an HT-C truck appears quite similar to the earlier Flexicoil C truck, other than the end transom, but the Flexicoil truck's casting has two holes between axles while the HT-C has three.This two-hole/three-hole difference is driven by differing internal coring in the frame casting."@en }
