The 40'
Boxcar is widely known as one of the most popular freight
cars used by railroads as they transitioned from steam to
diesel. In particular the Pullman Standard or PS-1 design
was one of the most popular and was widely used by North
American railroads. These boxcars were built beginning in
1947 and share the same basic design, with certain elements
such as door size, door style or roof type varying among
the different railroads and production years. When production
of these cars ceased in 1963, over 100,000 had been produced.
