I believe so, but I forgot what stringlining was ! Give us that again Buckeye ! I know those cars & some other ones we refer to as Spine cars, that carry trailers for semis, are very light & if they were run in the middle or headend of the train, the loads behind them would cause the light cars to buckle up & derail all over the place, say if the train went into emergency, or even a fast stop. Any of those empty & real light cars have to be on the rear of a train, at least on our RR.
