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?

There are a myriad of vehicle with "H" plates and "H" radio designations. That also includes our helicopters, i.e. 1H18, 1H43, etc, etc.
"H" simply means the vehicles are attached to some unit within Division Headquarters. It doesn't mean it physically turns out of HQ, simply that's the administrative assignment. The test vehicles are all assigned to Fleet Services, therefore given "H" designations as they are rotated around to different Troops. Feedback from the field is then considered for future purchases. A few dozen vehicles were recently purchased for field testing (Ford, Dodge, Chevy). Based on feedback, a huge order of the Ford Interceptors and a smaller order of Dodge Chargers is in, some of which have been moved out into the field and will be assigned traditional plate designations depending on their location.

"H" is a car out of headquarters in albany
