Pulpwood Flatcar 63 ft BFPX DES

Pulpwood Flatcar 63 ft BFPX DES

63 ft. Pulpwood Flatcar lettered for BFPX (Bessee Forest Products). Provided with ARN. The 63' pulpwod car is based on a Canadian Pacific prototype built in 1970.

The floor on these cars is flat, not V-decked. V-decked flatcars were designed to carry pulpwood cut in 4' lengths, in two rows on the car, with the V-deck sloping the two piles against each other.

Modern pulpwood cars handle pulpwood in 8' logs, lengthwise in the car. The side stakes are specifically spaced to hold piles of 8' logs.

In Canada, most pulpwood is and has been shipped in 8' lengths, either on side-stake cars like this model, or on regular 52' bulkhead flatcars or gondolas, since well before the 1970s.

Several railroad companies converted some regular bulkhead flatcars to lumber cars of the same concept and usage of a centerbeam by adding rows of center posts, deck risers and ratchet tie downs.
