The spine cars are one of the most recognizable freight cars on the rails today. Named after their simple, spine-like appearance, these versatile cars carry anything from highway trailers, to international, corrugated containers. Built in late 1997 by Trinity Rail for TTX, these 5-Unit Spine Car's feature TTAX reporting marks. While very similar to other 53' Trinity Spine Cars, the "RAF53C" class boasts nearly 250, 5-car sets on the TTX roster.
The models feature a die-cast metal frame and dozens of separately applied plastic and etched-metal components. From there, each car is painted to exact TTX yellow and lettered as appropriate for the RAF53C fleet.
