For the steel wheel cars axle part number BTA501 for H-AN8-35520 to 64734
or G-AN3-25788 to 52389  This corresponds to the cars with 1098 and
4.22-1 RE.

Steel wheel cars axle part number BTA806 for H-AN9 64735 on and
G-AN4-52390 on.  This corresponds to the 1275 with 3.90-1 RE.

There may also be different numbers for the 1500 cars, but I don't have
that info.
