Garbage carrying rail cars FDC?

[38ff 250]

All,

I attended a course put on by CSX about Emergency Repsonse to railroad incidents, which was very informative. The CSX guy said that the specially made rail cars that carry garbage are preplumbed in case of fire, and all you need to do is hook up a hose to the FDC on it. I didn't get a chance to ask the guy exactly what fitting was on it? 2.5NH, a Stortz, or ???? Anyone know before I give the guy a call?

Is this the type of container car that you are talking about? Like the ones that derailed at Spuyten-Duyvil? And travel up the Hudson line nightly through Yonkers and Tarrytown and are sometimes stored at the CSX Croton North rail yard?

I'm sorry for the crappy shot, but I saw a couple of "Fire Ports" located around the car that looked like this:

yes, that looks like the ones they had in the presentation.
