Well, they certainly knew how to convert a rather standard box car into one
that would be difficult to model accurately 60 years in the future without
resorting to resin (alternate center riveting). Conspiracy? Perhaps the
engineers were intent on creating future X-Files fodder.
What was the purpose of ACR anyway? Did the UP have additional bracing in
the car and if so for what purpose?
