Introduction

Lot 9962 Version 1 – NSL

 

Lot 9962 was Pullman’s fifth order for their 5077 cubic-foot single door box cars, built at the Bessemer, Alabama plant 9=10/77 and 4/78. 300 cars were built for The National Railway Utilization Corporation (NRUC) for general service and placed into series NSL 101600-101899. This order was unique to all the other PS 5077 orders in that these cars were equipped with diagonal-panel roofs instead of the typical PS bow-tie roof. Features include:

• Type 2 body with 10 side posts (5 on each side of the 10-foot centered door) with all 10 side posts being fabricated from hat-section channels
• Type 2 side sill
• Stanray 15-panel “diagonal panel” roof
• Pullman’s 5/5 “sine-wave” corrugated ends
• YSD 5/6/6 sliding doors with separate NRUC logo panels
• Hennessey “Slide Well” power-assist door openers
• Ellcon-National hand brakes
• Type 3 stirrup steps
• Rigid (non-cushioned) underframe
• Horizontal-lever brake gear
• NARCorp high performance/low friction 70-ton ASF Ride Control trucks with 33” diameter metal wheels
• Body-mount Micro-Trains couplers
• As delivered St. Lawrence Railroad distinctive red, white and blue National Railway Utilization Corporation livery with logo panel and door opener
