[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bob-Fryml Didn't The A.T.& S.F. Ry. have multiple sets of 10-pack spine cars dedicated to piggyback service between Chicago and Los Angeles? As I recall reading in either Trains Magazine or the trade press, these cars were not available for interchange (or did not meet interchange service requirements due to being too light in weight). But it was their light weight that the Railway hoped would translate into operating costs savings. Figuring that each spine section was 50-ft. long, that'd make this car 500+ ft. drawbar-to-drawbar. [/quote] Yeah the Santa fe did they were called fuel foilers
