This is a section of a freight car with 13 horizontal bars of reflective material that has been painted over with graffiti. This was some sort of early barcode system called KarTrak ACI (Automatic Car Identification) that when scanned would identify the railcars and the rolling stock. The ACI system was abandoned in the late1970’s. This car was retagged with purple and silver paint before it moved on.
