Here the brake rigging brackets are shown attached to the 28' car.  The 28' car is very similar to the 33' car.  The primary differences are that the 33' car has four truss rods while the 28' car has only two; the 33' car has a greater distance from bolster to queen post support than the 28' car; and the 33' car has a greater distance between queen post supports.  This last difference is evident when comparing the distance between stationary lever support and lever supports on the 28' car shown here versus the distances for the 33' car.
