| Pulpwood
is not a specific type of wood, but actually tree limbs
that are cut to a specified
length, then turned into wood pulp and used in the paper
industry. Early paper making had the trees near the paper
plant. As timber resources were diminished, the need for
transporting pulpwood began to rise. Railroads were seen
as an efficient method of transporting pulpwood. Pulpwood
in the Southeast and Northeast is generally cut into four-foot
or less lengths and loaded onto "V-deck" bulkhead
flat cars. The Atlas pulpwood flat is a reproduction of an
early 1950s General Steel Castings "V-deck" design.
