SP 103600-104099						(to T&NO in 1950s; back to orig #s in 1960s)

These 40'-6" box cars were built by SP's Sacremento Shops in 1951. They featured a 7'-0" door opening, 3/4 improved Dreadnought ends, diagonal panel roof, ASF A-3 trucks, 10'-0" inside height and 3782 ft3 capacity.

The original SP cars were transferred to the T&NO in the 1950's mixed with B-50-28s as T&NO 62250-62999 & 63500-64249. They were renumbered back to their original numbers in the early 1960s as the T&NO was absorbed into the parent SP.
