Introduction

Lot 9602 Version 4 – Canadian Pacific Railway (extended roof)

 

Pullman Standard built 500 of their original 5077 cubic-foot, plate B, single door box cars at their Bessemer, Alabama plant during October 1972 (Lot 9602) for Penn Central in series PC 168000-168499 (PC class X-75). Some of these cars were later transferred to Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and were repainted red with their beaver logo and stacked block “Canadian Pacific Railway” to the left of the door for pulp and paper service. These cars were modified for pulp and paper service by raising the roof, adding a taller (plate C) door, adding vents along the roof and floor lines on both side of the door, increasing the capacity from 70 to 100-tons and replacing the original 70-ton trucks with 100-ton versions. Other features on this modified version of Lot 9602 include:

  • Type 1 body with 12 side posts (6 on each side of the 10-foot centered door) which include a Z-post for the first post with the remaining posts being hat-section channels
  • L-channel side sill unique to this lot
  • Pullman’s proprietary 15-panel “bow-tie” roof with a roof extension that raises the roof to better accommodate stacked rolls of paper
  • Pullman’s N4/5 “sine-wave” corrugated ends (with narrow top corrugation and reinforcing plates added between the corrugations)
  • Prime replacement 8-panel sliding doors
  • Upper vents along the roof line (separate parts)
  • Lower vents along the floor line (separate parts)
  • Ajax hand brakes
  • Type 1 stirrup steps
  • Rigid (non-cushioned) underframe
  • Horizontal-level brake gear
  • NARCorp high performance/low friction 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36” diameter metal wheels
  • Genuine Kadee #158 semi-scale magnetic couplers
  • Bright red livery with Beaver logo

 

This highly detailed replica of a modified Pullman Standard 5077 cubic-foot single door box car (Lot 9602) 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 9602 PS 5077 cubic-foot box car is another example.
