This bulkhead flatcar is accurately scaled from the General Steel Casting 53 1/2' bulkhead flat car. The car was first produced in the 1950's with a complete cast frame by the General Steel Casting Co. It was produced for a variety of railroads and can still occasionally be seen in use today. All steel parts are laser cut and slide together to form the frame and car ends. All holes for the decking, grab irons, and stirrup steps are laser cut.
