Built
in the late 1970s, this Western Pacific centerbeam flatcar with Barber
Roller Bearing trucks was used to haul heavy finished wood loads, like
plywood. With bulkheads on each end to prevent acceleration or deceleration
load-shifting, the car design also features a centerbeam structure,
which provides both lateral stability and support for shipment as well
as simplifying loading and unloading cargo. Western Pacific was a Class
1 Railroad formed in 1903 in order to offer another rail option to the
established Utah routes of the Southern Pacific. WP was acquired in
1982 by Union Pacific Railroad.
