I was on RailPics today and was looking for some pics of ES44DC units but got this instead:

Do you know of any other special equipment that companies use?
Do you have any pictures of these special equipment?

It seems for this particular depressed flatcar the middle portion is extendable or something like that.

Also this car seems to be a heavy weight carrying flat car. Any info on these types of cars?

Thanks
Matt
