TOFC Flat Cars

In my era the railroads still offered Trailer on Flat Car (TOFC) service. While some cars were still equipped with ramps to unload by truck, most facilities had installed overhead cranes to load and unload cars faster.

    • Factory: Factory painted models are those that have been painted by the manufacturer.
    • Custom: Custom painted models are those that have been painted by an individual or a third-party service to achieve a unique or specific appearance.
    • Relettered: Relettered models are those that have had their road name and number changed to reflect a different railroad or specific identification.
