I recently purchased a small group of Chicago Milwaukee & Gary waybills. Among them was an empty car waybill for IC 28452. I'm
curious
about this car because the waybill says "This car is special IC equipment. Please do not divert." Can someone please tell me what
was
special about this car? Or at least what kind of car it was?
IC #28452 was part of the #28201-28500 series as per the November 1925 ORER. Its Mechanical Designation was XF and descibed as a Furniture Car; Inside Length 44' 11 7/8", Inside Height 9', 6' wide Doors, 3,470 cubic feet capacity riding on 30 ton trucks.
