The use of four bunks permits of the loading of two tiersof short logs, but if only long logs are to be hauled the carsneed only be equipped with two bunks. The bunks shown are equipped with short stakes whichcan be released from the opposite side of the car, a safetydevice of considerable importance. There are a number ofsimilar designs which have been proved to be so efficientthat there is no need of releasing the logs on the side of thecar from which they are unloaded. The car is equipped with automatic couplers, air brakesand all appliances required for interchange traffic.
