Perhaps, Mel, but I wonder if they are just quite a bit larger than we are used to.

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars

49 CFR regulates hazardous materials not structural loads, although there were AAR rules that were the predecessors of hazmat since 1911
I suspect AAR had practices for over-sized

Thanks for the further informed discussion on the 3D printers. I have a further thought for Corey, or anyone else dealing with an SLA model: It's clear that if a prime coat will hide the diagonal

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars
The real question is, when was the first retarder yard built. Until that time hump yards were "rider" yards, and there would be someone there to protest, "I'm not riding THAT thing down." I wouldn't

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars
if you look closely at the pic, the front
centering bracket is partially separated
from the bottom of the girder, indicating
that the load had shifted forward slightly
probably becauae of lack thereof

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars
These Erie photos tend to be of damages, either to the car or lading. Could the load have shifted and hence the photo?

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars

Think about the dynamics of the three cars going over the approach and crest of the hump.....the load is not secured for extreme vertical curves nor the impact of running into a string of cars

Re: Bridge girder on three PRR FM flat cars
Not that the load rests on both end flat cars between 4 and 5 stake pockets from the end. As Bruce Smith mentioned, this is doubtless the preferred loading point.
