Remarks & Notes 
The Pullman Standard Frontrunner Single Axle Spine Car was a cost saving alternative to the 'circus style' end loaded flat cars of the early 1980s. Efficiency was improved when trailers were loaded via an overhead crane or a side loading forklift onto the lightweight 11.6 ton car. A Rio Grande Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer (102" wide by 45' long) and a 50 ft. 6" TTOX Frontrunner Spine Car (blt. July 1984) were on public display at the Rio Grande depot in Salt Lake City for Utah Transportation Day, 1986.

Flat cars are often loaded with very common ladings, but they can sometimes be more impressive!

A much needed album given that there is no "category" to identify these pictures

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
