	Schnabel car - Definition, explanation
		The load is suspended between the two ends of the cars by lifting arms; the lifting arms are connected to a pivot above an assembly of pivots and frames that carry the weight of the load and the lifting arm.
		When a Schnabel car is empty, the two lifting arms are connected together, and the car can usually operate at normal freight train speeds.
		The largest Schnabel car in operation, owned by ABB, carries road number CEBX 800, and is used in North America.

	Articulated schnabel Car - Patent 4160420
		A schnabel-type railroad car adapted to carry very large loads incorporating articulated end units having a massive hinge at a reduced pivot location so that the weight of the car can be carried at a central location on the trucks while still pivoting about a lesser radius to help negotiate tight turns.
		The car of claim 4 in which said lateral position determining means comprises hydraulic cylinder means connected to move a second vertical pin, which second pin is slidably inserted in said torque box along an axis coincident with said reduced pivot axis.
		Car lengths have grown to the point where it may be difficult to negotiate tight turns in roadbeds originally designed for cars of a much shorter length.

	Refrigerator car Summary
		Milk cars (and other types of "express" reefers) may or may not include a cooling system, but are equipped with high-speed wheelsets and other modifications that allow them to travel with passenger trains.
		The cars (which were outfitted with state-of-the-art fiberglass insulation and fans driven by the car's axles for internal air circulation) traveled throughout the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific systems, where they were displayed to promote PFE's post-World War II modernization efforts.
		Cars must be equipped with speed-rated trucks and brakes, and — if they are to be run ahead of the passenger car consist — must also incorporate an air line for pneumatic braking, a communication signal air line, and a steam line for train heating.

	Schnabel car bogie - Patent 4164906
		When the schnabel car is not being used to convey a load, the two halves usually are coupled together in some manner so as to permit the assembly to be transported empty to the site or location at which it is to receive a load.
		From the first schnabel beam, the force is transmitted to the second schnabel beam down through the second beam pivot to the second half upper span bolster and, finally, to the coupling on the second half outboard truck.
		Respective cars 34 and 36 outboard of the schnabel car arrangement 10 are connected to the lower bolsters 20 by couplings 38 and 40 of a type known in the art.

	S. Berliner, III's Schnabel Railroad Car Page
		A Schnabel car is one which has two heavy lifting arms on independent trucks (bogies); when the inner ends of the arms are locked together and train lines connected, the two cars act as one.
		When the cars are separated and a monster load, usually a giant transformer or a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, is rigidly bolted between the arms, and the trainlines extended under or around the load and connected, the entire set of the two end cars and the load becomes one single car.
		Most Schnabel cars have an automotive equivalent with dozens of bogies to move the load locally at the delivery site; there is usually a tractor at each end and one such road monster tipped over on a sharp curve on a country road in Texas ca.

		All cars "MUST" pass an inspection prior to competing in the 2007 race season and time constraints do not allow for large scale inspections at the track on race night so we hope that as many as possible take advantage of this early opportunity to have their cars checked before the first race night.

		Claude Alain Mottier, beloved son of François and Ann Mottier, grandson of Karl Ulrich and Helen Schnabel, and great-grandson of Artur and Therese Schnabel, left a striking legacy of courage and personal accomplishments.
		In September 2001 he gave a paper at the Schnabel Symposium, which was part of the Berlin Festival, exploring his grandfather's (K. Schnabel) concepts of expression in music.
		It is their fervent hope that Claude will thus be remembered and honored, through the celebration of music and the promulgation of the Schnabel legacy.

		Operating Instructions: The car can be used on curved tracks with a minimum radius of 360 mm / 14-3/16", but we recommend larger radius curves.
		Due to the overhang of the long supporting element and of the load, signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc. must be set out further from the curved track for clearance.
		The track must be securely mounted because of the considerable weight of the car.

		Does this mean that this particular Schnabel car has been sitting on TMI property (not necessarily loaded) for that long, or is that referring to the transformer?
