D&RGW 63500-63699					(some to MPA 63500=63599; to MPA 7200-7399)

These 50'-6" box cars were built by PS (Lot 8326) as PS-1s in 5/1957. They featured 7'+8' Youngstown sliding doors and 4952 ft3 capacity.

The majority of this group (although apparently not all) were rebuilt as single door cars and sold to the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad as MPA 7200-7399 in 1977. Some appear to have been quickly restenciled as MPA cars with their original D&RGW numbers in their original double door configuration until they were able to be rebuilt.
