Prototype Info
The high-cube, high-capacity plate F box car is a staple of modern railroading. The iconic “TBOX” nicknamed 60’ modern plate F box car design started appearing across America’s rail network in the early 2000s. The Atlas O Master Series model represents the original 2003 Gunderson prototype of this plate F box car design. Many other freight car builders have built similar versions of the 60’ plate F box car since then as well including NSC, Trinity, FreightCar America, Trenton Works and Greenbrier. Making the plate F box car one of the most common freight cars in North America! What makes these modern plate F box cars so special is that the 60’ car body provides additional cubic feet of loading space for lighter loads, as compared to the previous standard 50’ box cars. This allows these plate F box cars to carry an extremely wide range of commodities including canned goods, paper, lumber, pulpboard, beer, salt, bagged flour, automotive parts just to name a few!
