Barry, that bunny definitely qualifies as a high-and-wide load, so there should be at least one idler flat between it and the locomotive. Also, are there appropriate tie-downs for the chocolate eggs? I think management is going to be concerned about this move - remember - SAFETY ALWAYS!

Just kidding - cute photo and Happy Easter to you as well!

Well Tom... if I remember correctly (since the picture was taken a few years ago) I did use the 4 truck HD flat (from Athearn) for this load and it was "braced"... (a stick behind it, holding it up!)
The eggs fit nice into a steel coil car too! no extra hold-downs needed there.

glad everyone likes it.
Thanks,
Barry

Did You Know?

October, 1962
Loss of mail and Railway Express Agency contracts prompts severe cuts in passenger service, including annulment of all service to Shamokin, and the Allentown-Harrisburg trains, and a reduction on remaining routes. RDCs replace most locomotive-hauled trains, freeing former passenger locomotives for freight service.
