| In the early 1950's General American and Evans Products teamed up to produce a state-of-the-art plug door boxcars cars to a unique design. These cars featured two large horizontal panels on each side of a 7'-7" door. These panels were joined with a horizontal rivet strip that gave these cars a very unusual and unique appearance. This style of construction created a side with many feer seams than a standard boxcar and thus supposedly had less areas prone to rust or leaking. Between 1954 and 1959 a fleet of 1,025 50' plug door boxcars were built with this method. These cars were classified as AAR class "RB" or "RBL" meaning "bunkerless refrigerator car" (no ice compartments).. | ||||
