The Western Pacific Railroad (reporting mark WP) was a Class I railroad in the United States. It was formed in 1903 as an attempt to break the near-monopoly the Southern Pacific Railroad had on rail service into northern California. WP's Feather River Route directly competed with SP's portion of the Overland Route for rail traffic between Salt Lake City/Ogden, Utah and Oakland, California for nearly 80 years. In 1983 the Western Pacific was acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad. The Western Pacific was one of the original operators of the California Zephyr.
Railroads and industries they served were looking for a quicker way, more cost effiecient way to load box cars - or more specifically to secure the loads inside. Normal box cars required extra labor using various devices inside the cars to secure loads. The Waffle style box car was a result of stronger, better steel... the waffle indentations made for much easier securing of loads inside the car. This was a big advantage to the automotive industry. Wrapped and secured pallets could be fork lifted into the box cars and then more easily secured to prevent damage. This was the motivation behind the development of the waffle side box car. Most of them were at least 50 feet in length.
