FLAT CAR HAVING A PLURALITY OF FIXED INTERMEDIATE BULKHEADS

摘要

A railway flat car having an end stub center sill structure adjacent each end thereof and a pair of side sills extending the length of the car. A plurality of bulkheads forming load compartments therebetween extend between the side sills and are fixed to the deck of the car for transferring loads between the side sills and the end stub center sill structures. Gates are mounted on the ends of the bulkhead for selective pivotal movement between open and closed positions thereby to restrain lading between the bulkheads against lateral movement when the gates are in a closed position.
