Pennsylvania Railroad #499320 |
| Description: |
Built in 1913 by the Pressed Steel Car Company at their McKees Rocks Plant. The following is from a sign on the car: Boxcar made up the largest portion of most railroads freight car fleets until nearly the end of the Twentieth Century. They were used to carry almost any type of non-perishable solid cargo, ranging from cartons, crates, and bags of merchandise to complete automobiles and loose grain. PRR developed several standardized boxcar designs. Over 7,000 Class X-23 boxcars, with wood sides and ends and steel frames and roofs, were used nationwide. All were retired from revenue service by the 1950s. This car was one of 600 built for subsidiary Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. It was converted to work service around 1946, and retired in 1965. The car was donated to IRM by the Grand Rapids Electric Railway. It arrived at Union in 2001. |
