Maddie Farnsworth	General	I have never seen a six axle wood chip car before! I wouldn't imagine that a woodchip would even get heavy to need them, but I guess I was wrong.	8/30/2009 2:13:13 PM

Michael Palmieri	General	There were 75 of these and they were originaly built as 150-ton capacity coal cars; but after that plan didn't work out, they went into wood chip service... just to use them for something. Some of the cars received 4-wheel trucks, while others kept their 6-wheel trucks and had their sides extended 30 inches (like this one).	8/30/2009 4:31:12 PM

This car has its original 6-wheel trucks, but its sides have been extended by 30 inches.
