A railroad freight car has an underframe that includes a center sill and lateral cross-members such as bolsters, cross-bearers and cross-ties. Side sills run along the edges of the car. A floor sheet is welded to the center sill and side sills and above the cross-members. Floor stringers are welded to the top side of the floor sheet. A surface covering is mounted on top of the stringers. Thermal insulation may be installed between the surface covering and the floor sheets.
