Modern Freight Cars, a new book by Jeff Wilson, provides an
overview of freight cars from the 1960s through today. This is an
essential guide for model railroaders who model the 1960s through
today, as well as railfans and freight train enthusiasts. The book
features more than 200 photos and covers various types of cars,
including boxcars, hoppers, and gondolas, and how they evolved, as
well as new car types, including intermodal cars and 89-foot auto
tracks. The book also gives a deeper look into how different
industries use freight cars, when cars entered service, and the
dates when rules and restrictions took place. Other topics include:
Freight car evolution (size and weight increases; new car types)
Car components (brake systems, trucks, and couplers) Hi-cube and
specialty boxcars Intermodal cars (flat, spine, and well cars) Open
and enclosed auto racks Mechanical and cryogenic refrigerator cars
