Rolling stock have always been used to handle the bulk of business for railroads and the West Side Lumber Company was no exception. Cargo moving in boxcars (reefers), logs being transported on logging cars, diesel fuel and gasoline moving in tank cars, and machinery or other big loads moving on flatcars, were longtime mainstays of West Side. In this category you’ll find the common cars mentioned above, plus more specialized freight cars such as work and maintenance and the caboose, mostly absent on today’s trains, are all part of the mix you’ll find in HO, S, O and other scales rolling stock.
