Northern Pacific Mid-Century 40-foot, 6-inch
Composite Wood-Sheathed Boxcars
Photo and model by Chris Vanko
The Northern Pacific Railway purchased 520 box cars in the 9480-9999 number series in 1937. The prototypes followed a similar design as the A.A.R. 1937 box cars. An excellent and complete history of these cars was published in Railway Prototype Cyclopedia (RP CYC) 23 by Patrick C Wider, Mid-Century Composite Box Cars – Late Wood-sheathed Anachronisms.
