Claims (22)

1. A removable bulkhead for a railcar, said railcar including a pair of spaced-apart side sills, and at least one end stake pocket, said removable bulkhead comprising:
a support structure removably attachable to said railcar, wherein said support structure includes at least one bottom connecting mechanism and said at least one bottom connecting mechanism is receivable in a corresponding end stake pocket of said railcar; and at least one stabilizing mechanism releasably connecting said support structure to said railcar.
2. The removable bulkhead of Claim 1, wherein said support structure further includes at least two spaced-apart vertical braces.
3. The removable bulkhead of Claim 2, wherein said support structure further includes at least one horizontal brace that extends between a pair of said spaced-apart vertical braces.
4. The removable bulkhead of Claim 3, wherein said support structure further includes at least one side connecting mechanism, and each of said at least one side connecting mechanisms is attached to one of said at least two vertical braces.
5. The removable bulkhead of Claim 4, wherein each of said at least one side connecting mechanisms is attached to one of said at least two vertical braces.
6. The removable bulkhead of Claim 1, wherein said stabilizing mechanism includes a side brace and a side sill bracket.
7. The removable bulkhead of Claim 6, wherein said side sill bracket is operatively connected to said side sill of said railcar.
8. The removable bulkhead of Claim 7, wherein said railcar further includes a side stake pocket attached to said side sill and side sill bracket is removably disposed within a corresponding side stake pocket.
9. The removable bulkhead of Claim 7, wherein said side sill bracket is attached to said side sill of said railcar.
10. The removable bulkhead of Claim 6, wherein said side brace includes a supporting tube, an upper support bracket attached to one end of said supporting tube, and a lower support bracket attached to an opposing end of said support tube.
11. The removable bulkhead of Claim 10, wherein said upper support bracket is releasably attachable to one of said at least one side connecting mechanisms.
12. The removable bulkhead of Claim 10, wherein said lower support bracket is removably attachable to said side sill bracket of said stabilizing mechanism.
13. The removable bulkhead of Claim 1, wherein said stabilizing mechanism operatively connects said support structure to said railcar in a substantially rigid manner.
14. The removable bulkhead of Claim 1, wherein said support structure further includes at least one side connecting mechanism.
15. The removable bulkhead of Claim 14, wherein said at least one stabilizing mechanism is operatively connected to one of said at least one side connecting mechanisms as well as operatively connected to said side sill of said railcar.
16. The removable bulkhead of Claim 14, wherein said railcar further includes at least one side stake pocket and said stabilizing mechanism is attached to one of said at least one side stake pockets.
17. The removable bulkhead of Claim 14, wherein said stabilizing mechanism is attached to said side sill of said railcar in a substantially rigid manner.
18. A method for attaching a removable bulkhead to a railcar, said removable bulkhead comprising:
providing a railcar, wherein said railcar includes a pair of spaced-apart side sills, and at least one end stake pocket;
attaching said removable bulkhead to said railcar in a removable manner, wherein said removable bulkhead includes a support structure being receivable in one of said at least one end stake pocket and at least one stabilizing mechanism operatively connected to one of said side sills of said railcar.
19. The method of Claim 18, wherein said support structure includes at least one bottom connecting mechanism that is receivable in a corresponding end stake pocket of said railcar.
20. The method of Claim 18, wherein said railcar further includes at least one side stake pocket, and at least one stabilizing mechanism is operatively connected to a corresponding side stake pocket.
21. The method of Claim 18, wherein said at least one stabilizing mechanism is connected to one of said side sills in a substantially rigid manner.
