Western Railroad Discussion > UP pulling center beam flat cars out of storageDate: 10/16/17 18:11 UP pulling center beam flat cars out of storage Author: bradleymckay Several different Yahoo Groups are reporting UP is pulling certain groups of center beam flats out of storage at pre selected storage locations in the west. They run as "R" (re-position) trains. At least 2 trains of all center beam flats have been sent to Eugene. Maybe lumber/plywood for rebuilding in Texas??
