Boxcar Waffle P-S ACF 50' BNSF DES

Waffle side boxcar as produced by Pullman-Standard or American Car & Foundry, 50 ft. lettered for BNSF. Provided with ARN.

Railroads and industries they served were looking for a quicker way, more cost effiecient way to load box cars - or more specifically to secure the loads inside. Normal box cars required extra labor using various devices inside the cars to secure loads. The Waffle style box car was a result of stronger, better steel... the waffle indentations made for much easier securing of loads inside the car. This was a big advantage to the automotive industry. Wrapped and secured pallets could be fork lifted into the box cars and then more easily secured to prevent damage. This was the motivation behind the development of the waffle side box car. Most of them were at least 50 feet in length.
