These 50'-7" box cars were built by FMC-GBEC (Lot 17522) in 3-6/1973. They featured 2x8' doors as above, non-terminating ends, ACI label, single lube plate and Hydra Cushion underframes.

Many cars of this class were repainted and renumbered as Golden West Service cars. At the time of rebuilding the original double doors were changed to either a single 10' sliding door or 12' plug door or not altered. Some of the cars with new single doors were subsequently re-numbered into a new SP series (230000's) by UP in lieu of into their original numbers.
