Reminds me of a WW1 story of shipping some secret new equipment in crates to hide it from spies, so that it would be a surprise on the battlefields... In addition to hiding it in crates, the crates were labeled with misleading identification of the contents.... they were labled "tanks"! Guess what was in 'em!
OTOH, how the equipment was chocked in place on the flat cars may be of more interest to model railroaders. I have a book of railroad standards for this if you want specific information for any type of load.
