I would hate to be the conductor on the job that has to pull that flat! I'd bet that it's a real pain, to get the couplers to line up! CSX was leaving me those 86' auto parts box cars right at the apex of the curve, where we pick them up in Martinsburg, WV. I had to use chains, to get them to where I could couple my train to them.
