The "weld on doubler plate only" notice only applies to the angled part of the deck. Welding on the main flat deck is fine.

are those blocks of concrete stacked on the corners of the railcar? Are they ballast? That's quite a bit of weight!
@whiteknightcat Жыл бұрын
They're for counterbalancing the load. Large substation transformers do not have centers of gravity that line up with the centerlines of the vehicles that carry them. The three large cores inside are just off center. Alone, this would result in the flatcar tipping to one side unacceptably, so the concrete blocks are added to counterbalance this offset. If the transformer case is small enough, however, it could be loaded off center to compensate.
