SFX/F bulkhead flat wagons
|
A very versatile wagon, they were used in all sorts of traffic as well they could be pushed into container service. SFX 100 was heavily modified as a test for what became the VFNX class. In 1977 numbers 105, 106, 108, 79, 80, 81, 96, 114, and 119 were recoded to SFF and numbered 1 - 9 respectively for dedicated intrastate container traffic. |
