When large and heavy loads need to be moved long distances railroads are often the best choice for the job. These loads are often tall enough that they wouldn't pass safely under bridges or other obstacles if carried on conventional flat cars. To provide extra clearance, railroads use heavy-duty, depressed center flat cars. The lower center deck provides several inches of extra clearance, and since the cargo does not have to be lifted as high, loading and unloading is

Railroads are called upon to move all kinds of loads, many of which are big and heavy. When presented with this type of loading, a depressed center flat car is often used. As the name implies, the center is lower than the ends to provide additional clearance for the load when moving under bridges or other obstructions. To spread the weight and increased the carrying capacity of the car, additional trucks may be used, such as the four-truck design which serves as the

When large and heavy loads such as machinery or construction equipment must be moved long distances, railroad flat cars are often the best way to transport them. If the load will clear bridges and similar overhead obstructions, it can be carried on a heavy-duty, straight-deck flat car. Designed with a load limit (combined weight of the car and cargo) of 240 tons or more, these cars are easily identified by the pair of high-capacity trucks at each end and the large, flat

Although wood chips are one of the lightest loads carried by rail, they require one of the biggest cars! Third in size behind modern auto racks and high-cube box cars, these giant hoppers were introduced by Greenville Steel Car in the early 1970s.Standing just over 16' tall, these monsters dwarfed every other car on the rails except auto racks and high-cube box cars. Those big side walls required a lot of bracing for support, and each panel was embossed for added strength.

To overcome problems of shifting pulpwood loads, southern railroads began rebuilding bulkhead flat cars with a unique V-shaped floor. These cars came to be known as ''woodracks.'' Larger versions appeared in the early 1970s that measured almost 60' long and could carry nearly twice as much as the earlier cars. Based on cars built by Southern Iron & Equipment, these models represent one of the most common woodracks in use. Since most were outwardly similar, it makes a fine
