History

The 14000-14099 series boxcars were built by American Car & Foundry at their Chicago plant in 1948. They were part of a 200 car order : 14000-14099 were delivered with 7' Camel-Youngstown doors, and 14100-14199 came with Superior doors. All the cars had Murphy straight panel roofs, ACF Dreadnaught ends and welded sides.  They rode on 50-ton ASF friction bearing trucks with 33" wheels.

139 of the 14000-14299 series boxcars were re-equipped as insulated boxcars with 8' plug doors in 1959, 1961 and 1963 and were re-numbered 19550-19649, 19650-19674, and 19700-19713 respectively.
