What In The Wide Wide World Of Sports????

Yup. Spent Nuclear fuel, but *I* have never seen or heard of one running with guards. I occasionally get to play with those at work, but funny enough, when switching cuts of them, I always handle them with kid gloves, but oddly enough, I can slam bang 'em around like an empty boxcar, because you'll never find a more durable, stoutly built car. They test these things by ramming rocket assisted locomotives into them at the test track in Pueblo. Trust me, unless you stuck a nuke underneath it, you would never breach one. I saw a photo of one on its side (loaded too) with a CSX locomotive sitting atop the green section (carbody) and both were mangled pretty good, but, the casket didn't have a single dent. I'll bet my reaction was pretty funny when I walked into the project administrators office and saw it on the wall. he laughed before he explained it. Apparently it was a switching accident in (I think) Philly on CSX. They are probably the safest railcars on earth.
