    The document discusses the different types of railcars used for transportation. It describes 9 basic types: boxcars, refrigerated boxcars, flatcars, tanker cars, container carrier cars, gondola cars, hopper cars, center partition cars, and auto transporter cars. Each type is specialized for carrying certain cargo types, like liquids in tankers, containers in container carriers, or vehicles in auto transporters. Railcar design considers railway infrastructure factors like tracks, curves, bridges and load capacity. Passengers cars also vary based on purpose, like luggage, sleeping, dining or seated cars. The conclusion ponders future rail trade growth in Malaysia or other countries.
