Lumber has always been difficult to ship by rail. Box cars provide protection but are hard to load and unload.

Equipped with four large doors, this provided a 25' 7.5m opening for easy handling, while loads remained completely enclosed in transit. Our ready-to-run cars are packed with detail and painted for a variety of private .....
