Abstract: A gondola-type railway car and associated bulkhead assembly for bracing freight within the gondola car. The bulkhead assembly is supported for longitudinal movement along the car and carries a locking mechanism for locking the bulkhead assembly in preselected bracing positions longitudinally of the car. The locking mechanism includes an operating handle that is connected to lock pins through an overcenter linkage arrangement so that the lock pins will not become disengaged even if they are subjected to a load in the direction of their released movement. The bulkhead also includes a sprocket wheel and timing shaft arrangement for assisting in its movable support with the locking structure carried by the car assisting with a track structure for precluding accidental disengagement of the sprocket wheels from the track.
