Suggestions for Jointed Rail (Not Locomotives)

Yes, though I simply described them as Harrimans because they could be used on virtually any railroad in the West. In particular I first felt the need for them when the Sierra Railroad came out.
 
With the recent refrigerated trailers that came with the Cold Creek pack in addition to the existing ones it reminded me that modern trucks that haul those trailers wouldn't hurt to have as a scenery item sitting elsewhere on the lot. Freightliner Columbias and Cascadias or the Volvo VNL line immediately come to mind given their dominance in major truck lines' fleets. Most of the existing trucks in Trainz are either pre-1980s models or too detailed to reasonably use in decent numbers as a scenery item.
 
Here some pieces I would like to see.

You obviously haven't found Yukon Zoom's numerous models of Columbia's & Peterbuilts..... You should go dig em up some time. High quality models, though a bit on the high end for polys if you're trying to populate a Transload Warehouse Parking lot with em. Better as a one off here and there on the side of a road or Parked.

I had a look on the jointed rail web site for a passenger car
but they don't make them
and I tried to find one on the DLS and there were no good one's there ether
so now what do I do now
 
There are some decent passenger cars on the DLS under username "Whitepass", or you could go to K&L Trainz and get their PRR P70 set. But it would be kinda cool if JR did some heavyweights or Harriman passenger cars.
 
Bendorsey's TOTC (Turn-Of-The-Century) and Harriman passenger cars are one of the best passenger cars out there, in capability. You can reletter them, change the color of the lettering, and having various cars (i.e. coaches, observations, short, long, etc.). Though they're old, if you want an easy to customize passenger car, Bendorsey's passenger cars are the way to go, for now.
 
VMSX - Valero Marketing & Supply crude tank car.

These will be ready to go to war with their beast battle shields (not sure how those are meant to prevent catastrophes but whatever).

The shields are in the event of a Derail.... If the Car rolls off the side of the track (Probably off its trucks at this point) and is still moving forward, the Shield prevents objects from puncturing the Ends of the tank. Notably objects that are likely to do this are the Trucks & Couplers off the tanker in front of it, Switch Stands, loose bits of Rail on the side of the RoW, Big Rocks, Misplaced Automobiles.... etc etc. I would think they're more interested in, "Unsupported Forward Momentum protection" then anything else with those shields.

Makes sense..
 
This has possibly been mentioned before, but I'm in Canada for work and don't have much time to be online (yay CP and phone connections).

Some FRED's would be nice. I don't like having to run trains at 30 mph on a route rated for 65 mph because of a missing EOT (yay real life railroading).

Also some different styles of derails. Out here we mostly have the yellow ones that can work either direction and have a separate yellow sign with a D on it to mark its location. We also have switch stand ones that have just a single rail that leads to nothing. That could be a track piece in it's own you could add to a layout. There's so many locomotives and rolling stock on Jointed Rail (more CP, hint hint...) that I think being able to set some things up for prototypical operations would be great.

Sorry if any of this has already been suggested, but I couldn't find it and I only every so often connect to phone service in the US.

So JR came out with a cross creek module so why not do a Huge loco repair shed with refuel and a turntable Module
with a cool fiddling yard
