A look down in to the inside of an empty well car sitting in storage on the siding at Leyden. As you can see, most well cars do not have a solid base, but rather are mostly open. They only need enough strength to support the containers placed in them. This patchwork is sturdy, yet keeps the overall car weight much lighter as less steel is used.
