Introduction

Lot 9831 Version 1 – BN Classic

 

Lot 9831 was Pullman’s third order for their 5077 cubic-foot single door box cars, built at the Bessemer, Alabama plant 8=11/75. 1500 cars were built for American Rail Box Car Company for general service and placed into series RBOX 15000-16499. In 1983, 676 cars from RBOX 15000-15675 were transferred to SOUTHERN ownership and put into the SOUTHERN 15000-15675 series, with only the reporting marks changed. 386 cars (RBOX 15676-16061) were transferred to ATSF 51336-51712, 218 cars (RBOX 16062-16279) to C&O 400305-400522 and 220 car (RBOX 16280-16499) to BN 249249-249460.
