42' Coil Car

Prototype Information

Designed to handle wrapped “cold rolled” steel coils, these cars were equipped with a single insulated hood to help protect the delicate finished steel from the elements. In 2001, Thrall was purchased by Trinity Industries and with this purchase, Trinity continued to build the 42’ cars. Some of the latest cars of this design were delivered in 2012. The Trinity built cars have some detail differences from the Thrall built cars including a separate handrail added to the ends of the car body and moving the end railings off the ends of the hood. These cars can be seen in singles or small groups roaming all over the country.
