Remarks & Notes 
To show switching crews as well as shippers and customers how damaging coupling impacts at higher speeds can be, Canadian National rebuilt a 40-ft. box car with plexiglass and equipped with a big needle meter to show speed at impact. One could also observe shifting of the load inside. The car was demonstrating on the AT&SF at Temple, Texas on Oct. 31, 1969.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.

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