This is a 59 foot long 10-Trough Transverse Coil Gondola owned by Mitsui Rail Capital - here's its description from the MRC web site: "This transverse coil gondola is a specialty coil car featuring 10 individual troughs for loading various sizes of steel coils in the same car. These cars also can accommodate 84-foot coils on each end, in addition to smaller coils at the same time. These cars are equipped with steel covers to protect the coils from weather damage."
