It looks like they had to retrofit the depressed car's air reservoir to the lower deck so the large load wouldn't swing and bust it lose from the upper flat deck. And I see a cable or two licked between the two center depressed cars. And after having said that the large heat exchanger acts as a car in itself just as tank car bodies are part of the main frame. I'll bet that thing weighs many many tons as it also looks top heavy. It is amazing what the railroads can handle now a days.

I can't tell from these photos whether there's any kind of additional hose to connect the air brake line between the two green cars.

From just about every angle, this thing looks like a piece of space flight hardware!

Interesting, is that a DPU, or is the train backing into Morrisville yard?
