International Railroad Discussion > It was too heavy (Brazil)Date: 10/19/22 18:00 It was too heavy (Brazil) Author: pedrop Last week a MRS flat car loaded with iron bars broke in the middle. The can is not old. They sre investigation the causes. Maybe the seven bars were too heavy or not in the gorrect position.

The slab train from LA Harbor to Kaiser does not tie down the slabs. Gravity seems to be enough to hold them. Date: 10/21/22 19:07 Re: It was too heavy (Brazil) Author: 2720 PHall Wrote:

Gravity seems to be enough to > hold them. Most slabs are moved in gondolas primarily in the US. I haven't seen many flat cars with steel slabs!
