Still need a citation?
Does a statement like "flatcars in the US are even used to haul 737 bodies" need a citation if there is a picture already in wiki in several places showing a 737 sitting on a flatcar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.141.84.124 (talk) 07:35, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Galleries
Per WP:GALLERY, a gallery should not be used to shoehorn more images into an article, and should not be used when there is space to show the images inline. I do not understand one editor's obsession with adding a gallery here when it goes against our image use policy. Please restore those images at the top of the article, inline.
