 The story was that it was a hot load of something-or-other paint destined to the Ford plant at Norfolk.  
Ford scheduled arrival of auto parts at its Norfolk plant with little leeway for delays. A car mightbe bad-ordered en route and failure to arrive as scheduled might lead to the plant shutting down, sayfor lack of engine blocks.  Known as "shut-down cars", they were frequently handled on the rearof No. 4.  Revenue on auto parts cars exceeded revenue on finished automobiles.  Harry Bundy
