Postwar Box Car – Canadian Pacific (20002436)

The Canadian Pacific 40′ postwar boxcar already assembled is based on the ones built in 1951.  

Spurred by the postwar business boom and in an effort to replace worn out equipment, North American railroads built large numbers of 40′ box cars to the AAR standard designs beginning in 1945. Prototypes were built with different combinations of roof styles, ends and doors. Our tooling includes many of the more common options for these details.
