53' Gunderson Husky Stack

Prototype Information

Southern Pacific Railroad (SP), along with SeaLand, devised the first double-stack intermodal car in 1977. SP then designed the first car with ACF Industries that same year. At first it was slow to become an industry standard, then in 1984 American President Lines started working with the Thrall Company to develop a refined well car and with the Union Pacific to operate a train service using the new well cars. That same year, the first all “double stack” train left Los Angeles for South Kearny, New Jersey, under the name of “Stacktrain” rail service. Along the way the train transferred from the UP to CNW and then to Conrail.

The Husky Stack is a double-stack container car that was developed in 1990 by Gunderson, a freight car manufacturing unit of Greenbrier Companies.

The Husky Stack was designed to give shippers more flexibility by being available as a standalone car or as a multiple-unit drawbar-connected car.
