HO Scale TrentonWorks 53’ All-Purpose Well Car (As-built) - Florida East Coast (FEC) Red

In the early 2000s, TrentonWorks of Trenton, Nova Scotia, Canada built a large fleet of 53' intermodal well cars based on the Gunderson / Greenbrier 'All-Purpose' design. These cars are designed to carry either double-stacked containers or trailers. A large number of cars are owned by the Florida East Coast Railway.
