Rail cars are designed to transport cargo like:
* Freight: Goods like raw materials, manufactured goods, and agricultural products.
* Passengers: People on passenger trains.
* Specialized cargo: Vehicles like automobiles on specialized "auto rack" cars, or large machinery.
It's important to distinguish between:
* Rail cars: The individual units that make up a train.
* Cars: The vehicles we drive on roads.
