West Side Lumber Company 205

Westside Lumber Company 205

This car suffered from widespread extreme dry rot and had to be completely disassembled. SPCRR will use the iron components and new lumber to do a full rebuild.

A restoration report by Bruce MacGregor on our WSLCo flatcars is available with a donation of $15 or more.

You can see a preview of the restoration report at the link below:
