In 1950, Bangor and Aroostook commissioned Magor Car Company to build 300 insulated heated plug-door boxcars for potato service.  An additional 150 cars were ordered from Pacific Car & Foundry in 1953.  The cars were equipped with ventilators and charcoal heaters.  New Haven piggybacked an order of 100 cars with the PC&F lot and factory-decorated its cars in the State of Maine scheme to save money on the purchase.  The cars carried potatoes in the winter and paper products in the summer.

The model is injection molded plastic with etched brass roofwalk and brake platform.  These cars ride at the prototypically-correct height above the rails, on Micro-Trains® Bettendorf trucks fitted with low-profile wheelsets.  Body-mounted coupler pockets are integrated into the underframe.  The model is equipped with Micro-Trains® #1015 coupler knuckles.
