Are spine cars the ones with a center beam and small platforms sticking out to the sides just big enough for trailer wheels? If so I've been seeing a lot of those with containers lately. This weekend I saw a single BNSF Dash-8 40 something with 4 wheel trucks pulling a really long string of empty ones. They were probably serviced recently as there wasn't a flat-wheel on the train. <br /> <br />About a week ago I saw a brand new Unit Coal train on the BNSF with NORX reporting marks on it. The aluminum was so shiney it looked like a streamliner and there was still white paint on all the levers, grab-irons, etc. Trucks where all new with blue-painted roller bearings. No flat wheels on that one either.
