Round Roof Box Cars

[NW Mailing List]

Rebuilding of the Class B-1 round roof boxcars, all of which were
originally single door cars, began in 1955 and continued into 1956.  A
group of cars were rebuilt at Roanoke and Portsmouth Shops with single
doors and classified B-1A; additional single door cars were rebuilt at
Roanoke Shops, converted to double door cars, and classified B-1B.

As of 1957, Class B-2, which had the rounded roof and double doors,
remained as originally built.  In 1957 there were still 97 of 100 cars
built in service.
