Railroad Car Roster
​

Introduction ​[under construction]


The following tables are the rosters of railroad cars, moved by the SMR motive power, and owned by SMRC. The tables provide some detail concerning each item in the roster. For information on the structure and capacity of various types of railroad cars, please go here. https://web.archive.org/web/20111007195551/http://worldtraderef.com/ WTR_site/Rail_Cars/Guide_to_Rail_Cars.asp

Trains are fundamentally built to haul things. The following tables divide our railroad cars into three categories: freight, passenger and utility cars. Each of these categories is further subdivided as needed. 


Freight Car Roster
​
This roster is subdivided into eight main types of freight car: Flat (includes staked and centerbeam), Box (includes refrigerated, livestock and other specialty box cars), Gondola (open or covered), Hopper (open or covered; two or three bay), Tank (riveted and welded) and Intermodal (Piggyback). Each type is illustrated, but the roster is presented in tabular form.
​
Passenger Car Roster

This roster is subdivided into ?? main types of passenger car: Coach, Dining, Sleeping, Observation, Entertainment and ...

​Each type is illustrated, but the roster is presented in tabular form.
​
Utility Car Roster
​
​Every railroad requires special rolling stock to build and maintain railroads and right of way. SMR has the following equipment.
