Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Railroad car
A railroad car or railway carriage (or, more briefly, car or carriage not to be confused with railcar, sometimes also wag(g)on), is a vehicle on a railroad (or railway) that is not a locomotive — one that provides another purpose than purely haulage, although some types of car are powered. Cars can be coupled together into a  train, either hauled by one or more locomotives or self-propelled.
