Raleigh, I had an assignment to cover the graveyard shift for a
magazine article for the Houston Belt & Terminal a few years back. The
train master and I went into the 'bowl' to fetch a flat car that was
coupled next to a tank car--that's a big no-no. A shifted load could
puncture the tank, probably the same thing for a tender tank or even a
caboose. Bulkheads were considered okay though.
