[CBQ] Re: Auto frames on flats

["Mitch" <soocarman79@yahoo.com>]

The auto frames I have seen on flat cars have been tied down. They were on the 
Milw going to the Ford plant in St. Paul.  As I recall there were 2 stack on 
the cars and stacked almost to the height of a box car. A good place to look is 
the AAR.  They have a book that is just for open top loading and tie down of 
equipment.
