Yes, I think Leo is right, the FRA came in in 1973 so unless they had something in the timetable it was nothing!

I do not believe the spacer car practice existed in pre 1990s railroading

It is more likely that those boxcars contained "package products", from the refinery. Those were such things as grease buckets, canned motor oil, and other lubricates in five gallon cans. I remember, as a boy,  seeing the Q switch the refinery at Hartford, Illinois. There was always a long line of tank cars for gasoline, diesel fuel, etc. with few boxcars for package products.

The tank car train in the photo Dave Lotz posted appears to have one or two boxcar behind the FT ABBA set. What was the crew protection rule for spacer cars when transporting explosives and flammables? Were spacers used in front of the waycar and behind the locomotive/tender?
