The increased volume of coiled steel transportation gave rise to a new purpose-built freight car. Previously rolls of coiled-steel had generally traveled in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960’s a lighter type of car emerged specifically for hauling coils of steel in an integral trough. The car type gained popularity and eventually over 17,000 cars were built. Atlas’ model replicates a 42’ design with a distinctive fishbelly side sill.

As demand for coiled steel increased, problems using standard gondolas led to new purpose-built coil cars with an interior trough in the 1960s. Today's cars are similar, but are built lighter and feature a one-piece removable hood to protect the valuable loads from the weather in transit.
Based on a 42' prototype with a distinctive fishbelly sidesill, these models feature prototypical painting and lettering, see-through walks, removable hood and inside floor detail.
