The well cars are being built by Greenbrier's Gunderson, Inc., and Trenton Works Ltd., operations; National Steel Car; and Trinity.

Johnstown America Corp. will build the 100-ton flatcars and National Steel Car will build the centerbeam cars. "These orders are consistent with our long-term optimism regarding railroad intermodal traffic," said TTX President Andrew F. Reardon. "Despite the lumbering economy, the increasing demand for TTX equipment is due to the rail industry's improving service and hence, increasing intermodal traffic."
