A covered hopper car including a plurality of hoppers adjacent one another along the length of the car, with a generally vertical stiffened bulkhead of sheet material between adjacent ones of the hoppers. The bulkhead may include a plurality of stiffeners of which each stiffener is a transversely oriented curved portion of the sheet material of the bulkhead itself, displaced from the vertical main plane of the bulkhead. A radius of curvature is great enough and all surfaces of the stiffener are steep enough that granular material will slide downward from the stiffener and all surfaces of the stiffener can easily be washed by a spray directed from a hatch opening in the roof of the covered hopper car.
