Question to stripes on WSLC-sceletons

Hello Marc,

thank you for the link. This is a great ressource for WSLC-stuff.
And I've got a answer to my question.

The "safety stripes" were painted to rolling stock, to make them more vissible at night. The WSLCo has some railroadcrossings over public roads. At night, a logtrain is not easy to see. Particulary an empty train.
 
I think you are looking at the canvase (SP?) cover of the sling used to pick up the log or a block of wood under the sling. If it is the two white slashes in the middle of the car, that is. Huh! Now that I look at it, the sling seems to go under the car a come up on the farside. Strange, as if the were going to pick the car up.
