TTX Flat Car w/R-33S Subway Car

In 1955, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Norfolk & Western Railway, and Rail-Trailer Corporation formed the Trailer Train Company. Their goal was to standardize the then-new trailer-on-flat-car industry and provide member companies with a pool of shared cars. The company name was chosen from 6,000 entries in a contest for Pennsy employees. The firm changed its name to TTX Company in 1991, and its fleet today numbers more than 200,000 cars of various types, shared among eight owners that include most U.S. and Canadian Clas s1 railroads.

Loading these cars with a NYC subway car creates a model that will stand out in any freight train. For modelers simulating an earlier period, an R-33 car on a Trailer Train flat could realistically be on its way to a museum.
