Since autos are smaller and shorter than trucks or vans, the third deck increases carrying capacity; usually 15 mid-size or 18 compact cars make up a full load. As some of the longest and tallest equipment in operation, tunnels, bridges or other obstructions can present routing problems that require detours. To avoid this, a modified tri-level design was introduced in the mid 1970s. The 89' flat car that carries the rack is a special low-level car, easily identified by the side-sill cut outs that provide left and right side clearance for the trucks. In place of the usual 33 wheels, these cars ride on smaller 28 wheels to further reduce overall height. In service with most major roads, they can be found in the staging areas of every auto assembly plant, as well as reloading with import cars for their return trip. * 1970s to Modern Era * Factory-Installed Grab Irons * Separately Molded Side Ladders * Ultra-Smooth Rolling Metal Axles \u0026amp; 28 Wheels * Proto Max(TM) Metal Knuckle Couplers Chessie System\/C\u0026amp;O ETTX #950127 Chessie System\/C\u0026amp;O ETTX #802679 CNW(TM) ETTX #850893 CNW(TM) ETTX #907897 CSX ETTX #700922 CSX ETTX #851712 ICG ETTX #700787 ICG ETTX #700734 N\u0026amp;W ETTX #908420 N\u0026amp;W ETTX #902581 UP(R) SP(TM) #517448 UP(R) SP(TM) #518506 PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length, a minimum 24 radius is recommended for operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
