Prototype Information:

The pupwood car was designed out of necessity, as previous logging-style cars were rebuilt out of boxcars or gondolas.  The new design made it easy to haul tree trunks, branches, and other cuts stacked in rows of two (with the ends facing out) between the two bulheads braketing each end.  the Atlas fifty (50) foot Pulpwood car was modeled after a SIECO design, with over 800 delivered in the early 1970s to the Southern Railway alone.  Over time, as demand for pulpwood at mills  has slowly decreased, these cars still serve a vital purpose, hauling logs, telephone poles, and other long objects lengthwise betwen the two bulkheads.  The Atlas 50ft SIECO Pulpwood Flat would fit in on your railroad, hauling more pulpwood to the mill, or bringing a load of logs out of the forest to be cut down.
