These 50'-5" hi-cube box cars were built by Pacific Car & Foundry in 1966-1967. They featured 6033 ft3 capacity, Hydra-Cushion underframes and 10'-6" Youngstown sliding doors. They were purchased for appliance service. The Cotton Belt cars differed SLIGHTLY in that they are listed as 50'-6" long with 6032 ft3 capacity in the April 1973 ORER.
An article on modeling these cars by Staffan Ehnbom can found in the December 1985 issue of Prototype Modeler magazine.
It appears as though a hand full of cars were renumbered into the above SP series' around 1970. It also appears as though the renumbered cars MAY have come from the SSW cars in this class. This is only speculation based upon numbers of cars in the various number series' over time. See the shrink table for details.
Many of these cars appear to have been sold off in the 1980's. Some are reported to have ended up on the Alaska Railroad and then with SIRX reporting marks. Also, some appear to have been sold to The Andersons, Inc. with BAEX reporting marks.
