Re: ATSF flat class

This was the 1950's building boom and the wallboard business was booming too! Everybody was building wallboard flats. :-) Many of the conversions lasted only for a few years, and it wasn't unusual to experiment with different bulkheads (the SP applied 3 designs in just a few years to their F-70-6/7's) On 1/26/2023 10:19 PM, Andy Jackson wrote: That Ft has short bulk heads supported on the inside with rods (?) & the outside with braces. Were these bulkheads temporary on a regular flat car to “contain” a certain kind of load? --
