B-70-44 Box Cars:
A roster of the B-70-44 class box cars is provided as follows:
EFCX 3001-3600 (to SP 291754-292322)
These 50'-6" box cars were built by PC&F in 1969. They featured 5116 ft3 capacity and double 8' Youngstown plug doors. These cars were bought second hand from EFCX (Evergreen Freight Car Corp.) in 1978-79. They featured a unique vent system for carrying paper pulp. Evidence of this can be seen by the boxy structures loacted at the ends of the sides. A cable system is used to open and close the vents. Thanks to Jim Eager for information on these cars.
