Illinois Central waffle-side box car 580782 was an AAR type XL with a gross rail load of 220,000 pounds, a light weight of 70,800 pounds and a load limit of 149,200 pounds. The 50-9 IL car had been repainted at Centralia in July 2000, so its paint job was just over one year old. It was on a Canadian National-Illinois Central transfer run in New Orleans running from MAYS YARD to STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD and the New Orleans Public Belt. |
