B-70-66 Box Cars
A roster of the B-70-66 class box cars is provided as follows:
SP 694230-694429 8-72=3-73 4892 ft3 DF-B loaders SP 694430-694629 8=9-72 4805 ft3 load dividers SP 697100-697499 11-72=2-73 4898 ft3 load dividers/air bags SSW 23250-23349 10-72 4805 ft3 load dividers SSW 23350-23449 10-72 4892 ft3 DF-B loaders Golden West numbers: GVSR 766000-766222 GVSR 766250-766266 GVSR 766300-766356 GVSR 766365-766390 GVSR 766400-766458 GVSR 766500-766512
These 50'-6" insulated box cars were all built to the same basic design by PC&F in 1972-73 and featured 6'+8' Youngstown plug doors and Hydra Cushion underframes. For some reason, the SP singled out this class of box cars to receive the new speed lettering scheme. It was the only class of box cars to be so re-painted. We are lucky to have a beautiful HO scale model of this class of cars from Athearn (thanks Uncle Irv!)
