Open Coal Freight Cars on Rail Tracks
An open coal car, also known as a gondola wagon, is built to move bulk raw materials across industrial rail networks. High side walls contain the heavy mound of loaded coal securely in place while the freight car rests on straight railway tracks.
Interesting Facts About Coal Transportation
Industrial freight trains often link dozens of open coal cars together to form long unit trains that deliver fuel directly from mines to power plants. Specialized unloading facilities can tilt or invert an entire coal car to empty thousands of tons of cargo within minutes.
