86' Thrall Box Car
Prototype Information
The Thrall 86-foot boxcar hit the rails in the 1960s. Thrall Car Manufacturing started building them in 1964. They made 3,544 of the 11,000+ built by various companies between 1963 and 1978.
These cars were huge. Railroads used them to haul large auto parts like body panels. Each car had four or eight wide doors for easy loading.
Thrall paused production in 1970 to redesign the car. They came back in 1973 with new features—riveted sides, jacking notches, and no roofwalks. That last change met new safety rules.
Railroads like Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, and Rock Island ran these cars for decades. Many stayed in service into the 2010s.
