Bill,

What do you mean by "burned out"?  These cars didn't actually catch on fire, 
did they?  How severe was the damage?

Galesburg, IL
  While in college after Vietnam I loaded/unloaded Chrysler cars at the Newark
  DE plant (my father in law ran the place). Penn Central of course had
  clearance issues and at least one car came in burned out as it had hit the
  overhead wire. GM plant was a few miles away and they used different tie
  down hook style so it was a pain to change everything out when we got GM
  racks instead of Chrysler.

  Lack of side protection panels meant lots of thrown rock and graffiti
  damage--tough neighborhoods enroute to the plant!
