Delivered in 1951, these cars featured the sharp 'Blue Streak Fast Freight' lightning bolt graphics underneath the classy 'Cotton Belt Route' herald, proving that the transition era really was a high point in railroad graphic design. The details on the car include a 7-panel Superior door, a Morton style running board and brake step, 8 rung side and end ladders, an accurate Universal handbrake housing, and a Universal handbrake. Our Cotton Belt original paint replicas are available – and keep in mind this was SP Line’s most prolific 40’ box car type.

While other railroads were buying 'modernized' boxcars, such as the infamous welded 'PS-1s', SP and its subsidiaries purchased a massive fleet of more than 19,000 new boxcars. These cars were different: they were riveted, and had 10’0” inside height instead of 10’6” inside height. While SP and subsidiaries initially ordered cars with 6-foot door openings, they settled on larger 7-foot door openings, built by Pullman-Standard, for the majority of the fleet. No layout is complete without these unique postwar 7-foot door boxcars, including railroads far from SP lines. While groups of these cars were rebuilt, repainted and restenciled over the years, examples remained in their as-built appearance, although repainted, through the 1970s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
