Found it!
I googled AAR LT WT and found with this:
"Usually under the car number in freight car reporting marks, there are three weight references in pounds:
CAPY The nominal weight capacity for quick reference.
LD LMT The maximum weight the car can safely handle.
LT WT The total empty car or tare weight for weighing purposes including the wheel assemblies. "
So, Wayne is right LT WT does include the "wheel Assemblies"/trucks, and is, therefore, weight on the rails.
........and no, I don't mind proving myself wrong, correct information is more important....................................and egos heal.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
