Nearly every railroad has some kind of car repair shop facility, and these facilities require new wheelsets for replacement on damaged cars. Transportation of these wheelsets is usually accomplished through the use of wheel cars. These wheel cars consist of a flatcar of varying length that has a steel rack attached to the deck which allows for optimal loading of wheelsets in a staggered pattern. Most railroads constructed their own racks, so they came in a number of different variations.
