is that sometimes they don't like heavy loaded cars in curves. I was told by a conductor that he could look out the window of the caboose and see the rail clips flying thru the woods on the curves because they had sheared off. This was on a long spur line to a phosphate mine in eastern NC. (Back when they still used cabooses also!)
