Stretch your tape measure across the rail car at the edges to ensure that the measurements you are getting are straight lines. If you cannot physically measure the rail car, call the company that manufactures it to get its interior measurements.Calculate Cubic CapacityMultiply the length, width and height measurements of the rail car together.
