As background, all the marks mentioned are owned and managed by TTX. The marks define the types of cars somewhat. <br /> <br />Your information is certainly correct to the degree necessary for the intent in mind. The only addition would be to the FBOX fleet which has, unfortunately, both 10' and 12' single plug doors. The Eastern carriers were slow to come around to the trend the Western carriers saw in paper roll dimensions. <br /> <br />You might be lucky enough to see a prototype TTX is testing - <br /> <br />IBOX - 60' double door high cube INSULATED box. <br /> <br />We're hoping this last will get us away from the equipment with the interior load dividers which are ruinously expensive to operate. Problem is, current car prices make this car too expensive for the products they are intended to carry.
