UP® is a registered trademark of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Built in 1988
for Union Pacific, this class F-100-38 centerbeam flatcar with
Barber Roller Bearing trucks has a 263,000-pound gross weight
and is used for carrying 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.
