As
the production and consumption of commodities like grain, coal,
lumber, coil steel, cement, and more have evolved over the years,
so have the railroad cars that haul them. Commodities by Freight
Car shows you which cars carried which cargoes in the era you
model.
In
this all-new 112-page book, you’ll learn:
- How
all-purpose boxcars, gondolas, and flats gave way to a dizzying
variety of specialized freight cars for coil steel, lumber,
flour, sugar, auto parts, and frozen foods
- How
freight handling has changed over the years
- How
railroads handle hazardous cargoes such as chlorine and liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG)
- Which
experimental car designs worked to make transporting goods more
efficient—and which failed
Plus,
you’ll get many helpful modeling tips!
