My guess is that you are talking about the schnable car .
The car is 231 ft. 8 in. in lenght
It weighs 340 tons (empty)
It has 36 axles, 18 on each end. (Thats what the write up says) looks like this one has less.
and there are 61 different cars covering North America, Asia and Europe.
Am I close???
Johnboy out.
Looks like that one was built in 1982 http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http://southern.railfan.net/schnabel/cars/cebx800/cebx800.html
My guess is the whaleback tank car.This car was 94 feet long,and had two four wheel trucks under each end.After it was built the FRA declared a maximum length for freight cars at 89 feet.This car is now at the railroad museum in Galveston,TX.It is enormous!
The answer is “Super box car " 72 ton capacity , 92’-7 1/4” long 10thousand cubic feet.
