Boxcars & Reefers Prototype information, modeling tips, detailed rosters, and plenty of boxcar photos from surviving predecessors to the latest Conrail car. (Dec 17, 2007) |

Hoppers Hoppers transported coal and iron ore across Conrail. You can easily model many Conrail hopper classes in any major scale. Coalporters are in the Gondola section. (Dec 23, 2005) |

Covered Hoppers For years covered hoppers had been a mainstay on Conrail, until the 1990s, when Conrail sold off many to private carriers. Fortunately, we can easily model some classes in any scale. (Dec 23, 2005) |

Gondolas & Coalporters Traditional gondolas are a mainstay here, as well as the modern coalporter gondolas and older ore jimmies. Besides excellent photos, find articles on unit coal train operations and modeling. (Jan 31, 2006) |

Coil Steel Cars Gondolas built for hauling sheet steel rolled into large coils, these cars often appear as regular gondolas with hoods or special hooded cradles, many which can be modeled. (Dec 23, 2005) |

Flatcars These workhorses survived many decades through many owners. From the old timers to modern monsters carrying strange loads, we have them here. (Dec 23, 2005) |

Autoracks Flatcars modified with a special top section called a rack, autoracks are designed to carry automobiles in either two or three levels. (Nov 28, 2003) |

Intermodal Conrail primarily operated two intermodal services, Trailvan for everyday and Mercury for special shipping, plus a Tripple Crown joint-venture with Norfolk Southern. (Dec 13, 2003) |
