Since the post war period in U.S., there was a remarkable housing boom especially in Southern California. Getting lumber from the lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest to the lumber yards across the nation became a little bit of a challenge due to a shortage of usable equipment. Solid trains of lumber cars were the norm.  A common sight in the west was witnessing solid SP trains of lumber crawling up the Tehachapi grade at a snail’s pace with engines whining at run 8  or just empty strings of flat cars returning from winding through the mountain passes on their way back to the Willamette Valley. These solid empty trains of flat cars were designated by SP as 'XMUG'  (Empty Eugene, OR). Further, solid cuts of lumber cars from the Willamette Valley headed east over connecting roads.

This release includes both the flat car and bulkhead flat car versions of this car with multiple road numbers available for each.

Features:
