Overview:
Starting in 1977, Pullman-Standard built about 7,000 of these box cars during the incentive per diem (IPD) era. The 5344 box car was the last successful boxcar project, before Pullman sold all railroad assets in 1981, due to declining sales. While Pullman is long gone, these cars still roam North America in the masses. This Atlas O Premier PS-5344 box car perfectly replicates this iconic box car of the late 1970s. This car won’t let you down, and will provide you with countless hours of smooth, reliable operation.
