NS still has some bunk cars, converted from boxcars. Except for the bunks and diners assigned to the two remaining derricks, most of the former passenger cars are gone. There may be a old baggage car and some power cars still in use, but mostly converted boxcars and small trailers. The trailers are either welded to a flat car or move around on highway wheels. <br />Large railroads will have several large gangs staying in bunk cars/trailers. They could be tie gangs, surfacing gangs, rail gangs, ballast, etc. <br />Gangs include machine operators, laborers, machine repairmen, foremen, etc. Kitchen and meal preparation is handled by a contractor. Trailers are usually equipped with four bunks and the boxcars with six to eight. It's close quarters in there, so you really got to be able to get along. <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
