There is something charming about a British fellow calling a large 89' freight car a 'wagon'. I know that is the term on that side of the pond, but still, it just makes me smile for some reason.

Interesting! At first it sounds like a stupid idea, but the specialized train cars made it surprisingly easy to do.

Blimey - that’s quite bonkers really but I do also wonder if the issues with the car may also have been caused by the stresses of being packed like that?
