Introduced in 1972, the prototypes for Walthers Canadian 50'
Bulkhead Flat Cars quickly became favorites of the lumber industry.
Built by Hawker-Siddeley, the cars were large for the era, offering a
loading area of 52'8" between the bulkheads. Distinctive, chunky
end bulkheads on the cars helped keep lumber bundles from sliding off
the ends of the car - a common problem with non-bulkhead cars. When
constructed, the cars were used to haul finished lumber from Canadian
sawmills, but today are used in all kinds of service including steel,
wallboard and logs, in addition to lumber.
