Available On: August 1, 2019
Between 1964 and 1966, the Pennsylvania Railroad built a large fleet of new multiple-purpose boxcars. Constructed as Class "X58", PRR rapidly produced 2, 565 cars, plus another 100 for Lehigh Valley. PRR outfitted the interiors of some cars with "loader" appliances and /or insulation which resulted in PRR designating four sub-classes: X58, X58A, X58B, and X58C. Being highly useful boxcars, X58 boxcars were rampant nationwide roamers during their service life. Many X58s lasted beyond the Conrail era. Most cars were retired in the mid-2000s.
Tangent offers distinctive phase and era variations with our PRR X58 replicas, including high or low ladders, high or low brake appliances, and Keystone or Hydra-cushion underframes. Our PRR X58 includes our "near-scale" extended-length draft sill with beautifully rendered side "key" detail and gorgeous "trombone-sytle" coupler lift bars, plus accurate ASF 70 ton roller bearing trucks as utilized by PRR. Finally, our scale replicas operate as well as they look, equipped with free-rolling CND-machined wheels and Kadee® scale couplers, meaning our models are truly ready-to-run.

This post-CR survivor is available in one accurate number and lasted well into the 2000s!
