Run what you want to... *Smiles <br /> <br />With that said, it is mainly 50' and larger cars that travel these days. I did spot a 40 footer from the steam era on a St. Louis bound UP Freight that was rusty and"sad" amid all the brawny modern counterparts. <br /> <br />I have driven 28, 35, 40 and 45 foot trailers as well as the 53 footers in a semi and they are about the same as a rail car except for being perhaps not as "Volume" <br /> <br />I use a massive 86' high cube HO box car from Athearn to test my clearences. If I can get that past my bridge or station then I can run everything else thru there.
