The B&H Railroad is sharing a helpful guide for shippers and site selectors — a clear overview of common railcar types and the commodities they carry.
From liquids in tank cars to lumber on centerbeams, every railcar is designed for a specific purpose. This guide explains how tank cars, hoppers, boxcars, flatcars, gondolas, and refrigerated “reefer” cars support efficient, safe, and cost-effective shipping.
Across Steuben County and the Southern Tier, these railcars keep raw materials and finished products moving reliably. Understanding the differences helps shippers plan better and get more value from rail transportation.
