5 modern train container homes

There isn’t anything particularly different about homes made from train containers. Aesthetically, shipping containers and train containers look pretty much exactly the same, with the only difference being the container’s purpose. Since train containers aren’t exposed to sea spray and rough weather, they do have an advantage when they’re converted into a livable home. They’re more durable and probably have less rust for you to work with.

Building a container home doesn’t always mean you have to rely on shipping containers. You can always look to train containers as a feasible alternative. Here are a few exmaples of modern train container homes that look just as good as their shipping container counterparts.
