Rail Equipment Descriptions

Post by wallyweb »

I just found a most excellent reference for those looking for rail wagon specifications.
The link is UP: Rail Equipment Descriptions
You will find images, appropriate cargoes, dimensions, load capacities, etc.
Note that the source is Union Pacific, a major American railroad, so all measurements are imperial, so keep your metric conversion calculator handy.
This equipment is pretty much standard throughout all North American railroads.

If anybody is aware of a similar reference for other rail systems (Europe, Asia, etc.), please post a link below.

Perhaps a moderator could sticky this post for quick reference location. :bow:

This just sent in by OzTrans: UIC classification of goods wagons, an international system particularly appropriate to Europe but also other regions.

Great idea could be very helpful.

Here is a few Aussie links that Aussie players will like and might find some usefulness for other countries too.

This is a Working Timetable from ARTC of Freight movements on most lines.

Some developers might like this site as well.

It has photos of many rolling stock such as passenger carriages and wagons like this Arnotts Biscuit van.
