The following photo was found in the NS EMployee magazine. It only shows the load of a decommissioned nuclear reactor that was being shipped.

The following photo was found on Paul Wilson's Central Virginia Railfan page. "NS 052, high and wide extra moves a Schnabel car carrying a nuclear reactor vessel at Russell, the north end of the siding through Waynesboro, VA. NS C40-9 8834 on the point."

Based on futher research and looking at the end of the picture, this is not a schnabel car, because a schnabel car would block the view of the end of the load. This looks like the CAPX car.
