The
Thrall Car 2743 cubic foot gondola was introduced
in 1995. This new 52' 6" interior length
design was in response to the newly allowed increase
in Gross Rail Loading (GRL) to 286,000 lbs (up
from 263,000 lbs). This allowed an increase of
the inside height from the previously standard
5'0" to a new standard of 5'6", giving
it a 2,743 cubic foot capacity. Thrall produced
over 6,700 of these from 1995 to 1999. The design
resumed production under Trinityrail in 2005.
