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.
