Remarks & Notes

Nine years after the FRA-mandated deadline for cars built before 1966 to have their roofwalks removed, there were still non-compliant cars in service. Here a Chesapeake & Ohio 40-foot boxcar, still equipped with roofwalk, full-height ladders, and full-height brake wheel rills through Lynchburg, Virginia.
