Dyno-cars, used to test loco horsepower "white trains'' hauling nuclear materials, came through town at night... seriously UP (for sure, maybe others?) had drop center flats with 2 sets of trucks on each to haul wrecked locos. There are/were special cars used to haul one product only used over the years. Pre-stressed concrete beams and hydroelectric turbine wheels come to mind. These were one ofs and were made to order. Seem I remember there was one made just to haul Saturn 5 first stages to the cape. Hey Dave, we were poor and just used a 4X4 and a tractor loader or even a pickup truck to "pole" a car. We didn't have any special cars. With the loader we sometimes didn't even use the pole, but don't tell. FRED
