60' PS Flat Car
Prototype Information
The 60-foot Pullman-Standard flat car changed how freight moved on American railroads in the mid-20th century. During the 1950s and 1960s, industries needed to ship longer and heavier loads. The older 40- and 50-foot flat cars no longer kept up. Pullman-Standard responded with a stronger, longer flat car.
This 60-foot model gave shippers more space and greater flexibility. It handled items like steel beams, lumber, and heavy machinery. Many versions included bulkheads or tie-down points to secure awkward cargo. The design focused on durability and function.
As intermodal shipping took off in the 1970s, some of these flat cars were adapted to carry containers and trailers. Newer intermodal cars eventually replaced them in that role. Still, the 60-foot Pullman-Standard flat car stayed useful for hauling specialized freight.
It served well on short lines and industrial routes. With its rugged build and simple design, it filled the gap between old-style freight and modern logistics.
