72' Centerbeam Flatcars

Centerbeam flatcars were designed to make loading and unloading building materials faster and more efficient. Their tall center partition helps stabilize loads on both sides of the car, making them especially useful for lumber, plywood, drywall, and other packaged construction materials.

The “opera window” version is especially distinctive, with oval cutouts in the center partition that give the car a lighter, more visually interesting appearance. These cars are a familiar part of modern freight service, making this BNSF version a strong choice for contemporary freight consists and building-materials traffic.
