LST&T Railway NW2 102 with ex-NP Idler Cars at the Incan Superior Dock on October 12, 1984
Car ferry operations generally include several empty cars used as idlers between the locomotive and the revenue freight cars. The idea was to keep the very heavy locomotive off of the loading apron while loading and unloading cars. This view shows three of the four ex-Northern Pacific 40-foot boxcars that were used as idlers at the Incan Superior dock.
