By chance, was the starting point of the "known" Lego Double-Stacks? I'm
inclined to believe that the starting point for this is 4549 Road 'N Rail
Hauler. I found a set with the viechles and the figures gone, and all that's
left is 1 of the small containers and the car itself.
And don't buy CSX yet....they still need to iron out the Post-Conrail
jitters.
