Overview:
With an interior height of about 13 feet - 2 feet more than a standard box car - this car is known as a “hi-roof” or “high cube” car for its high cubic capacity. White end panels make railroad crews aware of its extra height, which prevents it from traveling in some areas. This 50’ 100-ton car is designed specifically for the modern printing industry, which uses large rolls of paper too big for standard box cars. Sideto- floor joints and doorframes are reinforced to accommodate the heavy weight of paper rolls. Longer 60’ versions of this design are widely used for transporting parts for car manufacturing.
