History
The 19150-19199 series insulated 40' boxcars were constructed in the DT&I's Jackson Shops in 1958 from boxcars in the 11500-11799 series USRA rebuilt boxcars. They were insulated inside and rebuilt with 8' Superior plug doors and Keystone 10" end-of-car cushioning equipment; all cars had rare Murphy 16-panel rigid radial roofs, 5/5/5 Murphy ends and riveted sides.
In 1968, 123 insulated boxcars from series 19000-19199 were sold to American Colloid and apparently repainted by DT&I for them (see the 'JN' weigh date under reporting marks in photo below?). They were off American Colloid's roster by 1976.
