53' NSC Well Car
Prototype Information
National Steel Car rolled out its 53-foot double-stack well cars in the 1990s to meet the growing demand for domestic intermodal service. Railroads needed cars that could handle longer, heavier 53-foot containers, so NSC designed a deeper well and stronger frame to stack two containers safely within clearance limits. Carriers across North America quickly added them to their fleets, and the design replaced earlier 48-foot cars as the new standard for container traffic. NSC built the cars in large numbers through the 1990s and 2000s, and they continue to move freight on today’s high-priority intermodal trains.
