Bulkhead flatcar GWS #450038

Rel 03/25 This flatcar with Roller Bearing trucks was built in the late 1960s and ended up lettered for the Galveston Railroad under Golden West Service. The car was designed to carry lumber, structural steel and pipes, as well as logs and other long commodities. The reinforced bulkheads provide load protection as well as prevent shifting during transit. The Golden West Service program was mostly unsuccessful and relatively short-lived.
