["Craig Mountain" Type Skeleton Logging Car]
Quadruple Bunks
80,000 CAPACITY. 40 FEET LONG. WEIGHT FULLY EQUIPPED 12¼ TONS.
This car is similar in construction to the Red River Car shown on preceding page and differs only in two important details, the first point of difference being the Bunks. These Bunks are built up of Structural Steel and are equipped with trip stakes. The stakes are released or tripped from the safety side of car. The other difference is that there is a 10 × 10 in. center sill between the two main sills which extends from draft rig to draft rig.
Where short length logs are handled four bunks must be provided in order to permit of thirty and forty ton loads. This car meets these conditions perfectly. Small cars of twenty and twenty-five ton capacity are not heavy enough for economical and careful handling in heavy trains.
The same efficiency applies in the handling of logs as compared with standard flat cars as the percentage shown on opposite page.
For details see the description of the "Red River" car on the opposite page.
