During the first year of service these cars make 1745 loaded trips. On 1425 of these or 82%, no damage to any goods was reported. Of the 445 shipments of canned goods in Hydra-Cushion cars, 70% were without damage. By comparison, of 53,000 shipments of canned goods made during 1957 in standard cars, only 48% were undamaged. Furthermore, the average dollar value of the damage loss was reduced by more than a factor of 25 in the Hydra-Cushion cars. <br /> <br />"That still means that 20 to 25 % of cars had some sort of damage. Which takes me back to my COFC vs. Boxcars less damage do to transit. <br />
