50' PC&F B-70 Box Car
Prototype Information
As the demand grew in the 70s for larger capacity boxcars, along with the need to replace aging 40’ cars, this series of 50’ double door boxes was produced by PC&F for the Southern Pacific and its subsidiary St. Louis Southwestern (SSW). Constructed between 1972 and 1975, these boxcars are 50’-7” in length with a capacity of either 5258 cu ft for standard cars, or 5119 cu ft for those equipped for DF (Damage Free) Loading. All B-70 boxcars feature Hydra-Cushion underframes and were delivered with either Youngstown or Superior doors.
In 1972, Pacific Car and Foundry (PC&F) built the first of what was to be the B-70-69/71/75 Series of boxcars for the Southern Pacific and its subsidiary St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt). As these boxcars entered the 2020s, they began to disappear very quickly due to age and wear. Some still wear their original SP and SSW paint, while the the Golden West Service cars have been stenciled back to SP or for new owners.
