Ready To Run Widely Used Lumber Flats!

Built by Hawker-Siddeley and introduced in 1972, the prototypes for these 50' Bulkhead Flat Cars quickly became favorites of the lumber industry.

Offering a loading area of 52'8" between the bulkheads, the cars were large for the era. Distinctive, bulkheads on the car ends kept lumber bundles from sliding off the ends of the car - a common problem with non-bulkhead cars.

Originally used to haul finished lumber from Canadian sawmills, today they are used in all kinds of service including steel, wallboard and logs, as well as lumber.
