Also scheduled for a 4th Quarter 2017 release is the next batch of the X58 Boxcar, utilizing the transitional-style body with high brakewheel and no roofwalk.  

These Pennsy-assembled 50' exterior-post boxcars were built from a variety of supplied components in the early 1960s, with the railroad eventually housing a roster of 2.565 cars.  The X58 class and its variants were the signature freight car for the railroad in its final years.  The Lehigh Valley also utilized 100 cars of this design.  The majority of the class survived through Penn Central into Conrail, and some received the Norfolk Southern livery at the beginning of the 21st century.
