At a second end opposite the first end, a center sill interface to connect to the center sill member. On either side a bolster interface to connect to a bolster. And underneath, a center plate to engage the bogie
A freight car has a loading area on two bogies. At least one coil trough for steel coils is formed in the loading area. The coil trough is formed with insertion openings for insertion stakes. Wedges which are provided alongside the coil trough can be folded down into the loading area so that the coil troughs are closed by folding down the wedges to form a level loading area. Slots for stakes to be inserted along the longitudinal sides of the railroad freight car are further provided in the loading area. Container corners are further provided distributed over the loading area, so that containers can be secured to the loading area. Retractable lashing devices are provided in the loading area for tightening tensioning straps to secure a load on the loading area.
