Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Volume 25
Pages 1-31 Santa Fe BX-34, BX-37, and BX-43 Class 1937 AAR Modified Standard Box Cars by Patrick C. Wider This article is the eleventh in a series covering American box car designs that were built during the first half of the 20th century. Described are the 40, 50-ton box cars assembled by Pullman Standard and General American that followed the design of the A.A.R. modified-standard, all-steel box car of 1937. The article includes the latest information pertaining to the billboard stenciling applied to these cars.
Pages 32-113 1936 AAR Standard 50 ton and related 33 Offset Side Hopper Cars Part 7 by Ed Hawkins This article expands on cars of this type previously discussed in RP CYC. Included are many photographs obtained since Volumes 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, and 13 were published. The previously named AAR alternate standard hopper cars are discussed and assigned their more appropriate name of AMC Standard Design 50-Ton Hopper Car after the Advisory Mechanical Committee of the C&O, Erie, and NKP Railroads that owned tens of thousands of these cars. Several newly obtained diagrams amply illustrate the many design differences apparent in the various cars.
