Boxcars carry a wide variety of freight. They are fully enclosed. Doors can be on the side, ends, or top. Because they are enclosed, boxcars protect the freight inside from the weather during transport.
Refrigerated Boxcar is for perishable freight because they are temperature controlled. Fresh produce, frozen foods, meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products are usually transported in refrigerated boxcars.
Centerbeams carry bundled goods like lumber, wallboard, fence posts, and other building supplies. The Centerbeam gets its name because it has a “center beam” or partition that reinforces the center of gravity and allows products to be secured in place.
Open-Top Hoppers is similar to a covered hopper with the difference being open-top hoppers do not have covers, so are better suited to freight that can be exposed to the elements.
Tank Car Compressed or liquid commodities, like chemicals, molasses, edible tallow, water, and diesel fuel. The body of a tank car is literally a tank designed to hold liquids. Tank cars are more cylindrical than other rail cars: Imagine a barrel tilted on its side, elongated and expanded to hold between 6,500 gallons to more than 31,000 gallons, and you’ll be looking at a tank car.
Coil Cars are designed for products like coiled steel, steel plate, and high-grade ores. They come in a variety of lengths, tonnage, and capacities for specialized commodities. They keep cargo secure and can be easily customized.
Flatcars carry all types of products including pipes, rails, machinery, steel beams, tractors, military vehicles, lumber, poles, and logs. Similar to flatbed trucks, they can carry many things on their even platform. Because they come in a variety of lengths and tonnage they are ideal for freight that can’t get damaged from the elements.
Gondolas are used for heavy bulk commodities such as scrap metal, aggregates, logs, lumber, steel, sand, copper, and iron ore. They are flatcars with sides.
Well Cars are used with intermodal containers, which can hold a wide variety of goods. They are also known as “stack cars” or “well wagons” and are specifically designed so intermodal containers can fit snugly inside. The “well” is a depression that sits close to the rails. Because well cars ride lower than flatcars, they allow for containers to be stacked on top of one another, with two containers or double stacks on each Well Car.
Intermodal Equipment is containers that ride the rails but can be transferred between ships, trains, and trucks without unloading or reloading the cargo. Similarly, trailers can be transferred between trucks and rail cars. To move by rail, trailers are loaded onto flatcars, and containers are loaded onto well cars.
