Tom, That's the closest thing you will see to the old mixed freight these days. Very nice!! The car with power poles reminds me of the set of 6 flat cars with log loads I got recently. The are from an older era with no bulkheads. Oh how I dislike graffiti on freight cars, but what can the railroads do? Leave it go so resources can be directed for policing actual sabotage.

No DPU; can one reasonably infer most of these cars were empty, and being returned for reloading?
