U.S.R.A. 50-ton Single-Sheathed Box Cars and Steel Rebuilds (51 pages)
by Patrick C. Wider
This article is the second in a series of articles that cover several “standard” American box car designs that were built in large quantities during the first half of the 20th Century. In this article, Pat Wider covers the 25,000 single-sheathed wood and steel box cars that were built from 1918 to 1920 following a United States Railroad Administration standard design. The article also includes the steel-rebuilds of many of these cars that lasted well into the 1960s.

These distinctive cars presaged the later General American Airslide hopper cars of the 1950s and 1960s.
