Last week, in Duluth,MN I saw a bunch of heavy duty flatcars in (I think) BNSF’s yard down by the water. They had 4-6wheel trucks under each one. They were sort of like the freight car version of a Baldwin centipede. What would they haul that would need that many wheels on the ground?
Really heavy stuff!
Could they be DODX cars that haul M1A1 tanks?
Usually transformers and sometimes large refinery equipment. Check this page:
