A gondola railway car with a structural frame of metal has panels of lightweight composite tension-bearing sheet material attached to the frame by clamps which grip the margins of the panels. The panels thus are structural components of the car body, while also acting to contain bulk cargo such as coal. The panels may be of aramid fiber cloth coated with a wear-resistant polymeric material, and particles of hard material may be embedded in the polymeric material to enhance resistance to mechanical erosion.

Wagon-tombereau à cadre métallique constitué de panneaux d'un matériau en feuille léger et composite capable de résister à la traction. Les panneaux sont fixés au contour du cadre au moyen de pinces, constituant ainsi des éléments structuraux de la caisse du wagon tout en servant à retenir du matériel en vrac, par exemple du charbon. Ces panneaux peuvent être fabriqués avec une étoffe constituée de fibres aramides enduites d'une matière polymère résistant à l'usure, et des particules d'une matière dure peuvent être enchâssées dans la matière polymère pour accroître la résistance de l'étoffe à l'usure mécanique.
