When compairing the car sides one will notice the "cant" or angle in the car side starts at a lower point on the L.C.I.X. cars. The loading door arrangement was also different.
The car interor had two internal sets of roller beds to get product to the bunkers in the car.The bunkers were the width of the car and built to the height of the horizontal cant in
the car side. Above that body line was nothing but air space.The capacity of these cars were 10,000 lbs less. These cars were all hand loaded requirying personel to wear protective clothing.
