...TIME, Oct. 24), has already run into some mysterious acts of sabotage. Acid dumped from highway overpasses ruined the paint jobs on one shipment of 29 autos and on another of 150. The railroad had to pay $484,000 for the damage. Other railroads have had cars damaged by shotgun blasts or peppered with rocks. To guard the shipments, Frisco's auto trains now carry an extra caboose and an extra crew...
