Northern Pacific (NP)

The most numerous of all Northern Pacific double-sheathed box cars were the 5,000 cars built between 1923 and 1932 by Western Steel, AC&F, General American, P-S, and PC&F. Another 500 were built by the NP's Brainerd shops using 4/5 Murphy ends in 1931-32. These cars had the traditional NP radial roof but were built using trussrods, and a deep fish belly underframe. They were equipped with new Murphy 7/8 pressed-steel ends, and 6'3"-wide wood doors. They were numbered 10000 through 13999 (Murphy ends) and 14000 through 14999 (Dreadnaught ends).
