Lumber is usually bundled and put on centerbeams, so I kinda doubt that's it exactly, but it's definitely been modified to carry very specifically sized freight. I mean, it COULD be lumber, but to modify that many cars to haul freight that comes bundled and fits nicely on existing equipment doesn't seem likely.
What are the reporting marks on those cars? Maybe do a little research on this. Fascinating stuff

Looks like a Bulkhead flatcar configured to carry some sort of specialty like precut lumber
