Actually this is a new cost saving measure instituted by some of the larger RR's. On the return trip the flat car will ride on the hopper car roof. Neither car is loaded, but the larger RRs aren't concerned with that, keeps the dwell times in line and the tonnage numbers up.

Do they have April first in Japan?

I saw this load as it passed my house in Greenville and the trucks for the covered hopper were on the part of the flat car just out of the picture to the left.

Thank you for the information.

Yes, we do April First.

BTW, a reporting mark of the blue flatcar was HTFX(Hard to Find eXtra) or FMIYC(Find Me If You Can) perhaps, ?
