Hedlund Lumber Uses Experimental RR Cqr

Southern Pacific 561526, the experimental flat car pictured here, was loaded by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Anderson, Calif., with lumber for the account of Hedlund Lumber Sales of Sacramento.

The S-P, in an efiort to furnish better equipment for their lumber shippers loading with lift trucks and to develop greater efficiency in packaged lumber, has equipped two 53'6"-J0 ton flat cars, with which they are experimenting. These cars have 9 steel bunks. which can be moved from one stack pocket to another in order to fit packages of various lengths. The bunks have adjustable guide rails to accommodate loads of difierent widths and these also avoid side movement of lumber.

Each car is equipped with twelve 3/s" cables 36' in length with corner protectors to fit over packages. Cables are tensioned with ratchets, which are alternated on each side of car to avoid pulling load to either side.

These special flats avoid expense and labor of fabricating and nailing wooden floor bearing pieces to deck of car, according to the S-P. In the case of banded floating loads, avoid banding expense, wooden floor bearing pieces as well as over

I00 lineal feet of 2x4" lumber for guide rails.

In the case of stack loads, it saves at least 18 car stacks, 9 floor bearing pieces as well as other lumber for tie boards and banding material or wire.

It is only natural to assume both the shipper as well as the carrier would benefit mutually in using this type of car, which would make the railroad even more competitive with other means of transportation.

Hedlund Lumber Sales, Sacramento, made use of this experimental RR car in a recent shipment. Loading and unloading was speeded considerably. (L-R) Herb Brown, California Sales manager and Sam Baskins, Kimberly-CIark.
