Description

Between 1964 and 1966, the Pennsylvania Railroad Sam Rea Shops built a large fleet of new multiple-purpose boxcars. Constructed as class “X58,” PRR rapidly produced 2,565 cars. PRR also produced another 100 X58 cars for Lehigh Valley.

PRR outfitted the interiors of some cars with “loader” appliances and/or insulation which resulted in PRR designating each X58 as one of 4 sub-classes: X58, X58A, X58B, and X58C. Being highly-useful boxcars, X58 boxcars were rampant nationwide roamers during their service life. They went all over the place, with photos online and in books literally anywhere. While PRR cars are the majority, many cars were repainted into PC paint. These cars were also shopped by Conrail, receiving varying “can-opener” schemes. Because of the quality and utility of this large fleet, many X58s lasted beyond the Conrail era, with some being repainted into NS, however most cars were retired in the mid-2000s.
