History of Prototype:
In 1974, the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF) manufactured the first 50′-6″ boxcar for Railbox, a subsidiary of the Trailer Train Company. Over the next six years, they went on to produce 5,400 of these boxcars for a multitude of Class I railroads, short lines and boxcar leasing companies, many of which are still in operation today!
