Internal Union Carbide correspondence from May and June 1975 about a proposed ACF Industries freight car for shipping bulk asbestos fiber. B. M. Sheridan (Corporate Distribution) described the car and asked W. C. Thurber for comments. Thurber replied that handling bulk fiber was difficult and noted OSHA and EPA regulations on airborne asbestos. A King City manager then said he saw no advantage over the cars already used for 104. Sheridan's June 2 letter said the car builder had recognized the release concern and that the system was completely closed.
