Atlas 20007457 HO Scale 42′ Coil Car Mitsui Rail Capital MBKX 250114 (Ex-CSX Patch)
The increased volume of coiled steel transportation gave rise to a new purpose-built freight car. Previously rolls of coiled-steel had generally traveled in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960s a lighter type of car emerged specifically for hauling coils of steel in an integral trough. The car type gained popularity and eventually over 17,000 cars were built. Atlas model replicates a 42 design with a distinctive fishbelly side sill.
