Seen on Coal Hopper Cars. Also for what ever reason the car exceeds plate F when  brakes are applied according to the sign on the side of the car? What the Freek is Plate F ?

 

Scroll down the page to find Plate F and all the others

It's no freak; it is commonplace.

Thanks, Larry for responding quickly.
