C&D cars. Does that mean construct & destroy?

These type of cars are very common ib the northeast US every class 1 RR & many shortlines have a least 1 on there lines ! They are basically a metal building where the push 1 or more of these cars in & rolloff trucks dump construction & demolition waste & it is loaded into the cars with a excavator.
Re: C&D cars - TTRAK_andrew - 02-08-2013
From research on the internet using "C & D " "gondola" I have been able to work out that C & D refers to "Construction & Demolition" waste which is now part of a sorting and recycling process. Part of this process includes the economy of rail transport for bulk commodities.

Anyway, XLAX just came to me! Hey! THAT'S my favorite thing about this hobby...
One of the finest Layouts of all time, got to be called "Gorre & Daphetid"!!
AND, had many tongue-in-cheek vignettes, and things like an upside-down bridge!!!

Kamerad
I and no doubt many others are interested in what material you used for the orange safety netting.
