PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

The 50’ flatcar was introduced in the late 1960s to accommodate bulk loads of various large sizes not exceeding 50’. Each flat car was set up with stake pockets to assist stabilizing each load. Subsequently, these versatile all-purpose flatcars became the de-facto standard for lumber and pipe service during the era.
