Introduction

The Union Pacific Historical Society

Welcome to the Union Pacific Historical Society! Founded in 1984, UPHS is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Union Pacific Railroad. As of the beginning of 2023, the Society has about 1,600 members.

Historians, railfans, employees, and modelers have found the UPHS to be a matchless source of accurate and in-depth material concerning historical operations, traffic, motive power, rolling stock and facilities of the Union Pacific and predecessor companies. Railroad employees, managers, and retirees are welcome.

Archival Preservation: 

Through an agreement with the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, the UPHS is archiving a great number of historical Union Pacific Railroad drawings and other resources. The UPHS also is archiving donations of historical photographs and documents contributed by former employees and fans of the Union Pacific. In particular, we have archived the UP photography of Lou Schmitz, Tom Lee, and Don Ball.

Lot 9832 Version 3 – UP

Lot 9832 was Pullman’s fourth order for their 5077 cubic-foot single door box cars, built at the Bessemer, Alabama plant 4=6/76. 600 cars were built for American Rail Box Car Company for general service and placed into series RBOX 21000-21599 (class XPF11A). In 1983, 360 cars from RBOX 21000-21359 were transferred to Union Pacific ownership and put into the UP 130800-131159 series, while RBOX 21360-21599 (240 cars) were transferred to UP 130400-130637. Features include:

• Type 2 body with 10 side posts (5 on each side of the 10-foot centered door) with all 10 side posts being fabricated from hat-section channels
• Type 2 side sill
• Pullman’s proprietary 15-panel “bow-tie” roof

This highly detailed replica of Pullman Standard’s 5077 cubic-foot single door box car (Lot 9831) has been meticulously researched and designed and produced in plastic with accurate details in plastic, wire and etched metal. North American Railcar is pushing the technology envelope and offering model railroaders cars that they could otherwise never expect to be produced. The Lot 9831 PS 5077 cubic-foot box car is another example.
