I have photos of an Allis Chalmers car, ACMX 400, that resembles a hump-backed flat car. with the center cut out. Lionel made a model of this car. I'm told by sources here and other places that they (4 cars (400-403?)) were used for hauling pre-fab condensers for nuclear plants. <br /> <br />An example of the car is still sitting at 68th & Washington in West Allis, WI, right outside Avalon Rail. It still has journal bearings, so I believe it's not used any longer. According to the builder's plate, they were built in 1957 by Thrall.
