This heavyweight depressed center flat car with covered pipe load is painted freight car red with white logo and lettering. It was built in September 1940 and runs on Buckeye trucks. The depressed center flat car was designed to handle oversized loads that were too tall to allow passage through standard tunnels. Typical loads included transformers, heavy construction equipment, generators and marine engines. It required three axle, six-wheel heavy duty trucks, such as the Buckeye. These trucks were also used to transport high-capacity gondolas, wrecking cranes and locomotive tenders.
