Constructed between 1972 and 1975, these boxcars are 50’-7” in length with a capacity of either 5258 cu ft for standard cars, or 5119 cu ft for those equipped for DF (Damage Free) Loading. All B-70 boxcars feature Hydra-Cushion underframes and were delivered with either Youngstown or Superior doors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eIn 1972, Pacific Car and Foundry (PC\u0026amp;F) built the first of what was to be the B-70-69\/71\/75 Series of boxcars for the Southern Pacific and its subsidiary St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt). As these boxcars entered the 2020s, they began to disappear very quickly due to age and wear. Some still wear their original SP and SSW paint, while the Golden West Service cars have been stenciled back to SP or for new owners. This has created some wild patch-out schemes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe B-70-69-71\/75 Boxcar now has a modern spin, thanks to the selection of patch-out schemes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙ Value Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320373457049,"sku":"RAP170029","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/170029-sp245694__09052.1738639172.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784158772","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/rapido-trains-inc-ho-170029-pc-f-b-70-75-boxcar-southern-pacific-brown-dip-245694","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
