Abstract
An elongated unitary center-sill-and-center-brace member for use with sectionalized railroad car center sills is disclosed herein. The member includes reduced wall portions at each end for telescopic engagement with an inboard center sill section and an outboard center sill section, either of which may be of the double-Z or Wierton-type. In either case, the top surfaces of the sill sections and the top surface of the member lie in the same plane so as to define a flat upper surface for the sill assembly.
