One big car for one big load
Author: ns2557

OK All you Car Lovers out there. Here is CCRX 40010, A 550 Ton Schnabel 20 Axle Special Duty Flat. Man that thing is big. Shot this today in West Springfield Mass in the CSX Yard there. Not sure what it is the car is hauling, but gotta be heavy. Shot 2 is the "A" End of Car. Shot 3 is the "B" End. Anyone know where this is going or coming from? Taken in W.Springfiled Ma on 04-24-2017 Ya'll take care. Ben

Best bet from what I can see on the photo is that it is a generator. They are notoriously heavy.

Yes, that is a generator to be mated with a steam turbine.

Nice catch! I caught the same car with that Caboose and a red Caboose rolling east through Pittsburgh in January with a large General Electric generator. Wish I could post photos from this dang tablet onto Trainorders!
