White end panels make railroad crews aware of its extra height, which prevents it from traveling in some areas. This 50’ 100-ton car is designed specifically for the modern printing industry, which uses large rolls of paper too big for standard box cars. Side to- floor joints and doorframes are reinforced to accommodate the heavy weight of paper rolls. Longer 60’ versions of this design are widely used for transporting parts for car manufacturing.
