These Howe-truss single-sheathed boxcars were built in 1927 by Pullman Car & Manufacturing (500 cars) and Mount Vernon (500 cars). All were originally placed in the 176000-176999 series, but renumbered in the 1940s into the 16000 series. These cars were distinguished by their Dreadnaught ends with three corrugations in the top panel over five in the bottom panel.
Decals were included for both the original 176000-series lettering and for the later 16000-series renumbering and relettering.
Resin Car Works would like to thank the following rail historians and modelers for their high quality work. Without their efforts, these kits would not have been produced.
