(I just wonder why the engine has trouble with just 8 cars...!?)
Many thanks for sharing

Clinchfield SS USRA boxcar
Interesting photo. I’m wondering about the “board” immediately above the side sill. It appears a different tone. Is it just a different width filler board, a floor board, or does it serve

Hi Bruce, Rod and all you TrucTrain, TOFC and intermodal guys,
The same rule applies to the loading of trucks and trailers. Concentrated heavy loads are typically placed over the wheels, and/or, in

Much to the contrary, this is absolutely the correct way to load a flat car. There were very few flat cars that could take the entire load limit in the center of the span (the PRR F22 being

Re: Photo: Transformer Load
It’s not uncommon to see one or two heavy loads positioned over the trucks, especially on low tonnage rating flat cars. Transformers are heavy, hence the positioning over a truck.

Re: Photo: Transformer Load
Is it not very bad practice to place a heavy load at
one end of a car instead of centering it? Since the scene
may be a bad order track, improper positioning of the load
could be the cause for the car
