QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR When you're talking about a lot of plain flat cars with no bulkheads, and nothing except flooring (maybe well-worn flooring if it had "ridges"), it sounds like empties coming back after carrying loads of tractors or something like that. We get a lot of tractor loads for eastern destinations (probably most of which are shipped out at various east-coast ports). Again, a reporting mark would be helpful--there are a couple of groups of cars with tiedowns (chains, etc) for this purpose: the 60-footers are usually lettered OTTX, and the 89-footers are ITTX.
