What is a "flatcar"?

Flatcars are often used for transporting items that need to be loaded and unloaded from the top or sides, making them ideal for carrying goods that require special handling or equipment. They are commonly found on freight trains and can vary in size and design depending on the type of cargo they are intended to carry.
