GSC Commonwealth 54' Flat Car
One of the most common of all flatcars, GSC "Commonwealth" 54' Flatcars have been in service since the 50s. Built around a large one-piece steel casting, the prototypes could handle a wide range of cargo and were often rebuilt for piggyback loading. In later years, they were fitted with bulkheads and handled loads such as lumber and pipe, and some lines added portable bunks for handling logs. These cars feature fine detailing, paint, graphics and come equipped with AccumateŽ magnetic knuckle couplers. Each includes a clear plastic case that's ideal for storage and transport. The cars come equipped with bulkheads as appropriate for each roadname.
Sieco 50' Pulpwood Flat Car
Pulpwood is an important source of fiber for making paper. These purpose-built cars feature a V-sloped deck and tall bulkheads at each end of the car keep the load in place. Constructed by SIECO (Southern Iron & Equipment Co.) beginning in the 1960s, these cars haul pulpwood between pulp landings in the woods and paper mills.
