		Before the collision, the diesel is in motion with a velocity of 5 km/hr and the flatcar is at rest.
		The mass of the diesel is 8000 kg and the mass of the flatcar is 2000 kg.
		The result is 4 km/hr; the diesel and flatcar move together with a velocity of 4 km/hr after the collision.

	Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated - REVISED: Light's speed is relative to its medium's
		To the observer on the FLATCAR, the receiving mirror did not move relative to the other, so the distance the light pulse traveled was “d1”, which was the direct distance between the mirrors.
		Consider the “flatcar” to be a whole planet, with the light-speed-regulating medium traveling through space with it.
		A railroad flatcar would be similar in that respect to spaceship earth, and, spaceship earth is moving through the contents of space/time by rotating, orbiting the sun, etc.

	Roots of Motive Power - Collection - Pacific Lumber Company Flatcar #575
		After railroad logging operations ended, the company continued using lumber flatcars, such as Car #575, to transfer lumber throughout the giant mill complex in Scotia using their two General Electric 80 ton locomotives, 101 and 102.
		While the wooden portions of the flatcars had been rebuilt several times in the car shops of Pacific Lumber and the wheel sets replaced in the 1930s, the arch bar trucks remained unchanged since the early years of the company.
		Pacific Lumber Flatcar #575 was purchased from PALCO by Chris Baldo in 1992 and donated to Roots of Motive Power in 1995.

	- California's Temporary Freeway Bridge pg 2, Autumn 1995, Public Roads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Although a railroad flatcar was not used to restore essential freeway service in the aftermath of the Northridge quake, Caltrans decided to pursue the idea for future needs.
		A flatcar acts as a foundation and supports the half-flatcars that serve as columns, which in turn support a flatcar that acts as a bent cap.
		In general, using railroad flatcars for temporary bridges is a workable approach once the necessary modifications and refinements are made.

		Since the flatcar dosen't have much of a vertical structure to brace and stiffen it (like the tanker or gon) it falls prey to such warping pretty easily.
		Just to be sure, I also decided to put a permanent load on the flatcar to replace the diving weights (...effective, but not very esthetic.) I needed something heavy.
		They are not destructive to the flatcar and do enhance its looks even if they might not be all that effective against warping.

		After getting confusing instructions about clearances, the proper heavy equipment flatcar needed, securing the flatcar and the tie-down requirements for shipping, THA contacted a specialist in heavy equipment movements by rail, Specialized Rail Transport.

	Dave's Trains, Inc.: Soviet O-gauge Flatcar Archive Page
		The flatcar included in every Stalin-era and Khrushchev-era train set produced by the Soviet Union in the 1950's and 1960's was an all-metal car with low sides.
		The later version of the Soviet flatcars came without the "MEP" markings but it is unclear as to when those initials were first omitted from the sides of the car bodies.
		The later version flatcars were produced through 1969 and most of them came with chocolate brown sides with either a glossy finish or a flat finish.

	Building a transfer caboose (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It was in the early 1950s that Southern terminal superintendents, on their own initiative, built five flatcar cabooses in New Orleans and one in Louisville using old 41'-6" flatcars.
		Apparently these first Southern flatcar cabooses were successes, because in August 1955 Southern’s Hayne Shop began converting more, and they were also given their own class designation, XC.
		Because the steel cabs were not built on top of the deck, a scale 17 feet of the decking has been removed and replaced with sheet styrene as a floor for the cab.
