I have not seen the 70-ton flat cars yet. What is the method of installing the couplers on these cars. The experience I had with the IM reefers with the press fit coupler box cover resulted in removal of the entire box and installation of new boxes to install the Sergent couplers. Hopefully the flat car uses some other method than the press fit coupler box cover.
Bill, the coupler box covers on the IM flat cars are neatly held in place by small flat head screws.
