GSC "Commonwealth" 54' Flatcar -- UP

One of the most common flat cars in service from the 1950s to the present. These steel cars were considered strong enough to withstand the strain of intermodal service, and their 53' 6"-length was ideal for 32' and 35' trailers. When fitted for piggyback service, the cars were equipped with a hitch and rub rails, numerous tie-downs and bridge plates. In later years, a new hitch replaced the tie-downs. Available for N Scale, these kits are made of cast metal and include optional bulkheads (as noted) to match prototype practice.
