The XPT trailers are a local design. The frames, particularly the
distribution of end loads, are based on Budd designs.

The only similarity is the NHA bogies, which are based on the BT10. Even
then they have increased vertical movement on the primary suspension and
softer secondary suspension. The secondary suspension also has more
lateral movement to cope with local track conditions.
