[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ericsp</i> <br /><br />I see that they finally have the boxcar page up. I seems like for a year it said "Coming Soon". I looks like TTX must have an XJH52. Speaking of which, I guess TTX will probably keep the J designation for the company. Trinity industries is still R, even though Thrall no longer exists (bought out by Trinity). They probably keep the same designation to avoid confussion. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ran a quick check of FCA's boxcar vs Greenbrier's and Trinity's. The FCA 50' boxcar has 8 more cubic feet capacity than the next largest (Greenbrier), 500 more pounds of load limit than Trinity, and a door width of 12' compared to 10' for both Greenbrier and Trinity. <br /> <br />For posterity, the actual numbers: <br /> <br />Load Limit <br />FCA - 213,500 lbs <br />Trinity - 213,000 <br />Greenbrier - 211,800 <br /> <br />Cubic capacity <br />FCA - 6277 cu ft <br />Greenbrier - 6269 <br />Trinity - 6235 <br />
