FREIGHT CARS ALL OF STEEL
Railroad Men interested in an Elk.
detrimental Car Built in Omaha.
First Ever Constructed and Has a
Capacity OF Fifty TOns-Lfghter
Than wooden Cars.

/ After experimenting with steel fiat cars
and steel passenger. postal. baggage and
I Pullman cars. railroad officials are devOt-
/ ing their attention now 10 steel DO xcars.
and it is likely that large contracts will be
awarded shortly by some Of the largest
] railroad systems in the country for this
class Of equipment, according to the Kan
sas City Journal. Eastern railroad Off
/ Gals are in this territory now inspecting
| the new steel box car just completed at
/ the Omaha shops by the Union Pacific. Il
/ is the first steel box car ever built. and
was constructed largely as a sample The
/ car has a capacity of 100000 pounds Il is
| 40 feet long over its sill ends and feet 10J5
inches wide over the side sills The height
/ inside is feet 10 inches II is so built as
to carry full capacity Of the lighter grains
corn. rye. and barley. The weight is but
IS, $50 pounds, while the wooden car of the
same size weighs 1920 pounds 1t is
/ hoped to further reduce the weight.
/ The new box car weighs about y per
/ cent less than the standard box car now
/ used on the Hartman lines. but the two
cars have practically the same dimensions,
/ the difference IN cubic capacity being only
about fifty feet. This saving of weight is
accomplished largely by the using of only
one center sill and designing the side
frames as efficient plate Orders OF consid-
cradle length.
! The body framing Of the wooden car has
| already been more or less of a failure as
truss to carry that part Of the load be-
tween holsters. The combination Of green
timber and imperfect fitting usually re-
suits in a side frame which carries little
or none of the load after a few months Of
service. but the steel car. the sides having
all the members rigidly attached to each
other, supports a great deal of the load
which would otherwise be carried by the
longitudinal sills.
One or two other roads which have been
experimenting with the steel box car
have instructed their motive power Off
cials to watch carefully the experiments
with the new car built by the Union Pa
cific. and upon the result Of these investi-
cations will depend largely what action is
to be taken by the various roads in con-
struction of the new class of equipment
The new box car is considered by motive
power experts as the extreme development
OF the steel car. and they think it strange
that the experiment of building a box car
with a steel body has not been tried be-
fore. for it is only short step from the
high steel gondola to the box car. Some
officials have not thought it important
that the steel construction should be car
