I'm authoring an article and my editor challenged where I got the concept that railroads have ramped up and rebuilt their infrastructure to handle "standard" 286K cars, and some can handle a maximum 315K. I also asserted that railroads are preparing for heavier loads in the future, perhaps 315K will be the next standard.
Question- did I make all this up? lol... Is there really a standard or a directive, maybe from the AAR, that railroads need to be "286K Compliant?"
Can someone direct me to some resources?
