{"id":163,"count":16,"description":"ATLAS (N SCALE) X72 BOXCAR\n\nPROTOTYPE INFORMATION: In 1972, the Penn Central and Western Pacific placed an order for smooth-sided box cars from US Railroad Manufacturing (Evans), located in Blue Island, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago deep in railroad roots. The PC\u2019s large order of 574 cars would become the \u201cX72\u201d design, which featured smooth, welded sides and commonly featured a large 6-panel Superior door. One of the purposes of this 10\u2019 high door was so forklifts could easily operate in and out of the car. The following year PC placed another order for 500 X72A box cars, which were of a slightly larger design. Together, these cars served in general purpose service, making them a popular and commonly seen car all across the North American railroad system. After PC\u2019s demise in the late 70\u2019s, the cars were absorbed by Conrail, and continued plying the rails well into the 1990\u2019s. Towards the latter part of that decade, Conrail would sell off most of their X72\/72A fleet to Canadian National, short lines, or scrappers. By the early to mid 2000\u2019s era, the majority of the X72 box cars had been phased out of service, but there are still a few examples that continue to roll along in Mexico and South America. The X72 and X72A were important cars during the late PC and Conrail eras and wore many paint variations right up until the end of their service lives. One of the most famous schemes this car might have worn was Conrail\u2019s \u201cBuy And Hold US Savings Bonds\u201d scheme, complete with red white and blue stars clustered over the door. Because of the vast network of cars Conrail owned, a few cars escaped the paint booth and continued to roll in PC green for many years. Whether your train only needs a few or a large block on a manifest, headed back to the warehouse, the X72 will look great in any of the schemes Atlas has to offer.\nMASTER MODEL FEATURES:\u00a0\n\u2022 Crisp painting and printing \u2022 Durable body\u00a0\n\u2022 Free rolling trucks\u00a0\n\u2022 Detailed brakewheel\u00a0\n\u2022 Knuckle couplers","link":"https:\/\/hogtrainz.com\/shop\/product-category\/atlas-n-scale-x72-boxcar\/","name":"ATLAS N SCALE X72 BOXCAR","slug":"atlas-n-scale-x72-boxcar","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nATLAS N SCALE X72 BOXCAR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hogtrainz.com\/shop\/product-category\/atlas-n-scale-x72-boxcar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ATLAS N SCALE X72 BOXCAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ATLAS (N SCALE) X72 BOXCAR PROTOTYPE INFORMATION: In 1972, the Penn Central and Western Pacific placed an order for smooth-sided box cars from US Railroad Manufacturing (Evans), located in Blue Island, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago deep in railroad roots.
