Western Railroad Discussion > What are these cars?Date: 01/08/20 10:40 What are these cars? Author: Duna And what are they carrying? Some look like coil stell cars with rounded covers, but the boxy ones with raised ends?
Photos snapped while driving EB on I-10 along the ex-SP main, Fontana, CA 1/3/20. Thanks.   Date: 01/08/20 10:48 Re: What are these cars? Author: PHall They're insulated coil cars.
