Interesting Flatcar Load

I found this picture of a flatcar loaded with Vulcan steel tanks and thought it might make an interesting project.

Do you suppose that the tree is also part of the load, or just an environmental comment?

Interesting indeed.

Haven't you heard? They put trees on their trains in an effort to go green! And provide shade for the loads at the same time. !*roll-laugh*!

I think it may actually be a weed growing through a neglected garden railway car.

The tanks on the flatcars seem to be as if they are for holding gasses such as oxygen.... !!det!!
