The '''tare weight''' is the weight of the empty car, while the '''load limit''' is the maximum amount of freight that can be loaded. The loaded weight of a car can be as high as the sum of the tare weight and the load limit, but may be lower if a car is not loaded fully. The load weight of a car is determined automatically by FYM. Many maximum car load weights often top out at 131.5t (263,000lb), which is universally handled across the rail network, or 143t (286,000lb), which can run on most major routes, but not all branches and shortlines.

Car types shown in italics are sub-types of the previous car type, giving some variation in physical characteristics, but otherwise behaving identically.
+
Car types shown in bold are the primary car types in FYM. Any non-bold rows under each primary car type are sub-types, giving some variation in physical characteristics, but otherwise behaving identically.
  
 
Two car types, Insulated Boxcars and Lumber Bulkhead Flats, are no longer used in FYM, as these car types have fallen out of use. Either general service boxcars or refrigerated cars replace the former, while lumber now travels on centerbeam flat cars.

Passenger cars carry people. While not the main focus of FYM, both long-distance services (e.g. Amtrak and VIA) and various commuter services are represented.

Cars are used to carry freight, or people in the case of passenger cars, from one location to another. Many types of cars are in common use, specialised to carry different types of freight. Trains are made up of tens or hundreds of cars travelling along a similar route, although not necessarily from the same origin or to the same destination.

Within Freight Yard Manager, 56 distinct types of car are represented. In many cases, these types represent the combination of both the physical characteristics of the car as well as the commodity being carried, to better represent traffic patterns. For example, there is no major difference between a standard boxcar and a boxcar carrying paper (although paper customers have stringent requirements on the condition of the car), so the FYM car types represent the fact that paper/cardboard travels on fairly well defined routes from paper mills to paper distributors, packaging plants, and printing companies.

Types of Car

The table below gives a summary of car types.

The tare weight is the weight of the empty car, while the load limit is the maximum amount of freight that can be loaded. The loaded weight of a car can be as high as the sum of the tare weight and the load limit, but may be lower if a car is not loaded fully. The load weight of a car is determined automatically by FYM. Many maximum car load weights often top out at 131.5t (263,000lb), which is universally handled across the rail network, or 143t (286,000lb), which can run on most major routes, but not all branches and shortlines.

Car types shown in bold are the primary car types in FYM. Any non-bold rows under each primary car type are sub-types, giving some variation in physical characteristics, but otherwise behaving identically.

Two car types, Insulated Boxcars and Lumber Bulkhead Flats, are no longer used in FYM, as these car types have fallen out of use. Either general service boxcars or refrigerated cars replace the former, while lumber now travels on centerbeam flat cars.
