MTH - RailKing Freight Cars - Bunk Car - O Scale 3 Rail


Box-type cars such as boxcars, reefers and cattle cars are often referred to as "house cars" because of their shape. But the term is especially appropriate for this bunk car, which serves as sleeping quarters for maintenance-of-way (MOW) and wreck train crews out on the road. Like many of the cars in MOW or wreck service, it's recycled from an older freight car that was no longer fit - or legal - for interchange service with other railroads.
