Ron Moraca General Now, that's a large Schnabel car! Sixteen axles. but I've seen bigger ones. 6/30/2008 9:13:46 PM
David Abeles General 18 axles on this one... 7/31/2008 1:05:30 PM
Connor Chinoy General Actually, that's a (gasp) depressed-center flat. The deck under the load is an integral part of the car, and the thing doesn't separate in two. Largest one I've ever seen. 5/8/2011 5:37:46 PM
