50' ACF Precision Design Box Car
Prototype Information
The 50-foot ACF Precision Design boxcar was built by American Car and Foundry (ACF) in the early 1960s. It was part of a shift toward more modern, standardized freight cars. The design focused on better safety, durability, and ease of loading.
“Precision Design” referred to improved construction methods and components. These cars had strong underframes, cushioned floors, and better draft gear. After new safety rules in 1966, most were built without roof walks.
At 50 feet long, these boxcars were very versatile. Railroads used them for hauling goods like paper, food, and appliances. Wide doors made loading and unloading easier.
Many Class I railroads and private shippers used these cars. Some stayed in service into the 1990s and beyond, often rebuilt or repurposed.
