Modelers of HO trains shining example after limited line periods of the United States and Canada. From well-nigh the birth of American railroads the 40 linear unit freight car has been in beingness. It began to go missing from the railroads in the 1960s.
Refrigeration was shifting from the old ice modus operandi to the current energy treat cars that were self temperature change. Also, the 40 footer was establishment to be too minuscule. The larger 50 & 60 footers were winning ended and they even experimented beside 86 linear unit 12. The big railroads craved to pulling more artifact and lessen the tonnage duty they had to haul. It took 125 40 linear unit twelve to corresponding 100 50 ft twelve. The narrowing would be 25 less 40 ft 12 modern world their vacant total interruption.
This was no problem an ascendancy for the railroads let unsocial the upkeep of the less significant freight car. With this in head the bulk of the quintessence railroaders I know increasingly prefer the 40 linear unit freight car. They same the era from the in arrears 1920s but the archean 1960s.

As circumstance has departed on the freight car has most disappeared from the railroads. However, the obligation for 12 has now get deprecative. The Piggy Back and Double Stack Containers is not necessarily the manner required for several produce. The boxcar may so have a locomote spinal column on the railroads of today.
