| 45' Logging Flat Car
The railroads have
long played a vital role to the logging industry. One of the key aspects
is the ability of the railroads to carry large amounts of logs out of
the forrest to the mill using flat cars, many with specially designed
side stakes to hold the logs in place on longer mainline trains. The
45’ Logging Flat is based off of a Milwaukee Road prototype that features
unique side stakes in sets of two at each end, with inward slots on
the cars so smaller pieces of bark and timbers can pass through without
causing damage to the car. Many railroads owned this type of car for
service to and from the forrest to the mill.
