Fred,

Listed below is a link to a picture in the VT Database of a FD class flatcar
that was converted to a pulpwood car by using old steel rail to form the
bulkheads. The picture is dated May 16, 1938. It would be a great project to
model.

In the Nov/Dec, 2003 issue of the Arrow, James Brewer notes in the 1950
Freight Car Roster that FD Flatcars were "Equiped for Pulp Wood, 1938-39-41-46;
steel ends and floor on 80 cars". He may have mentioned more in one of the
previous 13 parts of the series, but I do not have those issues.
