A railcar unit has a pair of deep sidewalls and a cradle mounted between the sidewalk for carrying coils. The sidewalk span the distance between the two railcar trucks, and act as a pair of deep beams for carrying vertical loads. The deep sidewalls are arranged to extend above and below the centre sill of the cradle and to give vertical stiffness to the car. The centre sill is a straight through sill for carrying buff and draft loads between the couplers. The cradle is made from a set of cross bearers welded to the centre sill to form a series of segmented beams, covered by slope sheets. Cushioning material is mounted to the slope sheets, and non-flammable thermal insulation and wear plates are also mounted to overlie the cushioning members. The end bulkheads of the trough are provided with non-flammable thermal insulation, and with wear plates against which coils can sit.
