Prototype History: 
A well car, also known as a double-stack car or stack car, is a type of railroad car specially designed to carry intermodal containers (shipping containers) used in intermodal freight transport. The “well” is a depressed section which sits close to the rails between the wheel trucks of the car, allowing a container to be carried lower than on a traditional flatcar. This makes double-stack rail transport possible.
Double-stack cars are most common in North America where intermodal traffic is heavy and electrification is less widespread; thus overhead clearances are typically more manageable. This behemoth, 113 ton well car can swallow four fully loaded 20-foot containers or one 40 to 53-foot container in its well, plus a 40- to 53-foot container stacked on top for a staggering load limit of 226,000 pounds.
