Om dette innholdet

Soak in the air of authenticity with some beautiful steel-and-wood Boxcars!

The X23 boxcar was a 40-foot standard box car of the Pennsylvania Railroad, built from 1911 to 1915 in a run of more than 6.900 cars in total. The car featured a steel under-frame and wood sheathing, making it extremely light compared to older cars. The X23 served as a new standard design and it was also the base for the R7 refrigerator car, the X24 Automobile car and many other examples of rolling stock from the Pennsylvania Railroad.

During WWII, the Pennsylvania Railroad had a shortage of cabooses. It was decided in 1943 to re-build some of the X23 boxcars into cabooses, which were named the NX23 class cabin car.

After WWII, new types of freight cars started to arrive and the X23 boxcars were quickly outdated. During the late 1940s and 1950s, the X23 boxcars were scrapped with some of the cars being assigned to work equipment services. A handful of X23 and NX23 boxcars survived until the 1960s.

This highly detailed model for Train Simulator, developed by 3DZUG and Trains & Drivers, represents this icon American Steam Era boxcar as it was used after WWII and in the 1950s.
