Strange loads

Im.here at Glendale Ohio and there was a northbound with 4-6 flats with what looked like passenger cars under blue tarps ... anyone have an idea what they were It flew by so getting my phone out was impossible

[lwjabo]

My guess without seeing them is some form of rapid transit cars going to a city or region transit company. There cars are not compatible with the brakes and couplings on standard cars.

Possibly!!! the 3 flats in front of them had some weird looking tracks on them ... they we're sectional and looked funky not like standard track?  Hmm I wish I could of got a pic... thanks

Did they look anything like these? Took this in 2003.

That's them ...

Saw them 3 or 4 times(all within a couple of weeks), and haven't seen them since. They always had 3 or 4 when I saw them, but no flat cars around them.

The ones I seen looked like there was a dome (more to the middle) and the three flat cars were first, they were carrying funny looking track ? It looked like grade crossings but not? I dunno! Lol thanks for posting that so I know I wasn't seeing things

As a guess... with your center dome comment Badhorse... They were prob RDC's going to Dallas. The rapid transit there uses old (but rebuilt) RDC's from CN.  But, just a guess! Dan

I thought that too but the area was longer and reminded me of the Super Dome but didn't quite go to the end ... man I really needed a pic huh ...

Well, then I am 100% certain that it was "something" for "somewhere"! LOL! Maybe, export locos for South America or something? Some of those lines run on narrow gauges. But, as always... just a guess. Dan
