The on-line Internet Archive ( http://www.archive.org/index.php ) has
older publications that you may read as flip books or download either
as a scanned documents or PDF files. The PDF versions take a while to
download but are the easiest to read and copy text from.

I found two books under the subject "freight cars":

Freight Car Equipment: A Reference Book for Car Men on Freight Car
Work, Describing and Illustrating ... the Different Kinds of Freight
Cars Now Built and Various Devices Used in Their Construction and
Repairs
By Frederick J Krueger
Published by , 1910

++++++++++++++
Modern Freight Car Estimating: Containing Necessary Information and
Tables Appertaining to the Proper Method of Compiling Correct
Estimates on Freight Equipment ...
By O. M. Stimson

These are two freight car references to add to your library at no
cost. There are more railroad books (and film clips) on the Internet
Archive site.
