The project cargo logistics experts at UTC unveiled their own newly constructed mega railcar, featuring a 40-foot load deck undefined the longest of any 16-axle depressed center car currently available in North America and an attractive alternative to 20-axle Schnabel cars.

The extra-length deck and 400-load-capacity make the new car ideally suited for the transport of heavy and oversized components such as turbines, generators, stators, engines, gensets and transformers.

The delivery of the new car, after four months of construction, is particularly timely given the limited national inventory of such specialized rolling stock and increasing competition for such resources, driven in part by the global effort to modernize, diversify and expand power generation and distribution systems.
