These 50'-7" double door box cars were built by Pacific Car & Foundry as above. They featured 8'+8' sliding doors as above, dreadnaught ends, Hydra Cushion underframes and 5258 ft3 capacity.

An unknown number of these cars were rebuilt with single doors by the SP. They were hastily remarked at some point, possibly on short term lease to WCTR and possibly others before being re-marked to their original reporting marks.

Many cars of this class were rebuilt 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, 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.
