The Carter Brothers 28 foot flat car had a long and versatile history and was used on a number of roads, such as the South Pacific Coast, Northwestern Pacific Railroad Co. (formerly the North Shore Railroad), The Carson & Colorado, The Southern Pacific and the Swain Lumber Company. Apparently the same car continued in production after Carter Brothers was bought out by the J. Hammond Co. of San Francisco and were used by the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Co. (later renamed Hobart Mills) as log cars. The Madera Sugar Pine Co. also had some of these cars modified to their specifications to carry logs. The Carson and Colorado, the South Pacific Coast, and later the Southern Pacific, built a number into gondolas.
