Lading protectors for mounting between the upper ends of adjacent columns positioned along the centerline of a centerbeam rail car. Each protector comprises a pair of parallel and upright lading engaging side plates supported on opposite sides of a horizontal elongated stiffener plate. The side plates are bent at the bottoms and ends so as to avoid exposure of free edges to the lading. The outer surfaces of the side plates are located appreciably outside the adjacent surfaces of the columns they extend between so that the lading engages the side plates and not the columns.
