In 1923, the ARA
(American Railway Association) proposed a standard design
all-steel box car for the railroads. While the design was
certainly a good one, the car never became a recommended
practice due to questions of the selected inside width.
Nonetheless, quite a few railroads opted for the design and
rostered sizeable fleets. The largest group of cars, by far,
was class X-29 of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Atlas O is
offering this historic car with great features, all new from
the rails up.
