The GE DASH 9 Series debuted in 1993 with numerous electronic upgrades, building on the DASH 8 platform. Available with 4,000 or 4,400hp, they were well-received by the railroads and their employees, quickly becoming one of the most common locomotive types in North America. The DASH 9s remained in production until the early 2000s when it was superseded by GE’s “Evolution Series” ES40/44-series models.

Thrall Car Manufacturing constructed these 48-foot, twin hood cars in the 1980s and 1990s. The first Thrall cars had a 100-ton capacity, but later versions were built to a 125-ton capacity. Wearing the protective hoods, the car can carry coils up to 7 feet in diameter. They can carry coils up to 10 feet with the hoods removed. The flat-top hoods from the first designs have been replaced with a rounded top design that is both easier to manufacture and is stronger.

In the mid 1990s, Thrall Car Manufacturing introduced the 42’ coil steel car. This car shared many traits common to other Thrall built coil steel cars, including the basic body construction and jack pad design. In 2001, Thrall Car Manufacturing was purchased by Trinity Industries and with this purchase, Trinity continued to build these same cars. The latest cars were delivered in 2012. These cars can be seen in singles or small groups roaming all over the country.
