I was out in central Pennsylvania today and, on the way home, decided to swing by Horseshoe Curve while I was out there. I was really surprised at how many shiny new double stack cars and containers there were (and a pair of ancient 60' flats that somehow managed to survive). Anyhow, one of the trains had this: [img]http://mywebpage.netscape.com/RainKing%20nbc/frame.jpg[/img] In these parts, 99% of the trains I see are nothing but hoppers, so I've never seen whatever this is. Obviously its three container chassis in some kind of framework. Would I be correct in my reasoning that its a means of transporting new chassis around and that the frame is so they can be lifted from flats/spine cars? Are these frames reusable? The NS logo on it leads me to believe it is. Also, does anyone else have pictures of something like this? I think it would make a very interesting model and would definitely like to pursue this.
