Tangent Scale Models HO 26024-02 Pullman-Standard 40′ PS-1 9′ Door Boxcar Louisville and Nashville "The Dixie Line 1962+" L&N #46590
Louisville & Nashville (L&N) “The Dixie Line” 1962+ is a repainted “blue L&N car.” This is the classic repaint scheme that L&N applied to many box cars in the 1960s that includes “The Dixie Line” and “Louisville & Nashville” stenciling on the right side of the car. The left side of the car includes large L&N reporting marks. While all of the stenciling on this car is “yellow,” when you look closer you will see two shades of yellow. Some of it is a bit more “orangy” in nature, true to the prototype L&N lettering practices of applying Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing’s “CODIT” Reflective Liquid coating to the larger lettering graphics and numbers. These cars had a return stencil applied to them as well: “FOR APPLIANCE LOADING ONLY RETURN TO PRR MANSFIELD OHIO.” In other words, these cars were assigned to appliance loading service originating from the large Westinghouse factory complex there. These cars include the second version of the Superior 9’ door. This new model rides on the Tangent Scale Models 50-Ton ASF A-3 plain bearing truck. These L&N models are offered for the 1962 and later modeler!

Prototype History:
Pullman-Standard’s PS-1 box car line evolved to feature a variety of different door combinations in order to satisfy customer requests for “purpose-built” box cars. Across the transition and early diesel eras, between 1951 and 1962, Pullman-Standard built 9-foot door, 40-foot long PS-1s for several railroads. Each railroad specified different doors and other appliances, and as production progressed the exterior sill and end arrangements changed. Railroads purchased the 9-foot door cars for various services, including forest products, machinery, appliances, paper, and merchandise, where the large 9-foot door opening made loading with forklifts significantly easier. These cars wandered all over the North American rail network into the late 1980s.
