TTX's railcar fleet consists mainly of flatcars, autoracks, boxcars and gondolas. Most of the railcars used were surplus flatcars equipped with new decks. Long before modern piggyback services, the LIRR began carrying farm wagons aboard flatcars in 1885. Such flatcars eliminated the need for specialized equipment to load and unload boxcar racks. These trains consist of flatcars loaded with four containers of trash. It was made up of 60 cars, including 19-45 flatcars carrying about 100 wagons. The railroad employed 10 Shay engines to move the log-filled flatcars along the river valley. Each boat was broken into approximately fifteen pieces and loaded onto eight railway flatcars. When carried by rail, containers can be loaded on flatcars or in container well cars. When carried by rail, containers may be carried on flatcars or well cars. Logs were loaded on a mixture of logging flatcars and skeleton cars (no deck). Various kinds of cars are used for maintenance work, including flatcars and vacuum trains. Flatcars or well cars may also be loaded directly beneath the crane base. Empty flatcars will be placed on both ends of the loaded car. The term may also be used for the "end walls" of bulkhead flatcars.
