Tag Archives: #50ft Box Car

February 2020 Trains Magazine.

I’ve received my author’s advance copy of the February 2020 Trains Magazine.

This features both my monthly column and my article on railroad locomotive and signal suppliers.

In my column (pages 16-17), I discuss on-going changes in the North American railcar fleet.

These freight car photos represent some of my initial outtakes for my column prior to submission, but show the size differences between modern boxcars and the older standard cars now being phased out.
