Isn’t 475 friction bearing though? 

They are properly called plain bearings, and #757 was just towed by NS to Ohio on plain bearings,

If I remember correctly, the NKP Lima Berks have roller bearings on the driver axles and lead truck, with plain bearings on the trailing truck and tender trucks.

so NS seems to be relaxing their standards on this, good for them.

Absolutely! Maybe someone in their Mechanical Dept. understands that virtually every single diesel unit with DC traction motors, in their fleet, has plain bearing suspension bearings.
