Manufacturer Information:

American railroads committed all their resources to mobilizing troops during World War II. Passenger car fleets were stretched to the limit, yet more soldiers had to be moved. Pullman-Standard and American Car & Foundry rose to the challenge with special troop cars. Essentially reinforced box cars modified for passenger service, troop cars carried 29 soldiers plus a Pullman porter in three-high bunks that folded into seats during the daytime. Most of these unique cars were later sold to the railroads as surplus and were rebuilt as express box cars, maintenance equipment and cabooses.
