Product Information:
RES68126 CANFOR USLX repaint 1974 NEW 12-68, ACF 50' RB, 14-0 Double-plug Non-over. roof
In 1967 the Evans company started making double plug door 50' boxcars. Besides one series of GB&W (built 8-1967), all were RBLs. Insulated and having loaders (mainly Evans Products) they filled a unique niche in the market for a wider opening flush fitting door, typically called plug doors. I believe this was a reaction in the market for wider doored entrance for palletized or large pallet loads that were forklift into the cars. Most loads started as lumber product loadings like of plywood, masonite or perhaps wallboard. Evans Products had a subdivision that made and shipped plywood products, so perhaps that was the spark for this design.
