Details:

Box cars in the past fifty years have generally fallen into one of five distinct frame lengths, 40-, 50-, 52-, 60-, and 86-foot. The least common of these is the 52-foot box cars. Although not as numerous as its shorter and longer companions, the 52-foot non-insulated box designs have provided an important role in the lumber industry.

The car is essentially a “stretched” 5277 with one foot added outside the bolsters giving the car its distinctive overhang. It is equipped with double sliding doors and a cushioned underframe. Southern Pacific was the sole original operator of this design and ordered 700 of these unique-looking boxcars split between Southern Pacific (525 cars), Amador Central (75 cars), and the Longview, Portland & Northern (100 cars).
