This all-new book, Piggyback & Container Traffic, is a comprehensive prototype guide to railroad intermodal equipment and operations, tracing the development of piggyback (trailer-on-flatcar) and container traffic from the steam era to today. Modelers will learn: What equipment and operations are appropriate for the era they're modeling; How trailers and containers have been loaded onto railcars, evolving from end-ramp loading to today's overhead cranes and How piggyback yards and terminals work, and much more!
