Southern Pacific Flat Car

The Southern Pacific Flat Car is a xxx which will be the foundation for a SP TOFC (Trailer on Flat Car) exhibit consisting of the SP Flat Car with two PMT trailers mounted on it as was done in the early days of the SP Piggy Back service.

Southern Pacific Railroad Pacific Motor Trucking Trailer. 22 feet, Daylight painted. This is the second such trailer acquired by the SLORRM and the plan is to have both of these trailers put on a Southern Pacific flat car just as would have been done when they were in service, TOFC (Trailer on Flat Car). See a SLO Tribune video. Also, see Brad’s video with more information and donation request. You may donate to this project here:

Southern Pacific Railroad Pacific Motor Trucking Trailer (#3009) in Daylight colors. This was acquired by SLORRM thanks to a donation by Brad LaRose. This is a 22-foot, round front-end trailer, with a towing dolly and a single axle in the rear with dual wheels. The trailer was made by Trailmobile in 1934 and last used (based on DMV registration) in 1957.
