ACF 36ft Double Sheathed Boxcar Series

ACF 36ft Double Sheathed Boxcar Series

Version 1. 0

Adds various 36ft double sheathed boxcar prototypes to the game, representing a variety of car builders and railroads that used identical designs originating from both ACF and the New York Central.

In the 1910s and 1920s, several large railroads embarked on modernizing their boxcar fleets. One of the most influential designs came from the New York Central, with a 36ft boxcar that featured a steel fishbelly style frame, double sheathed wood sides, and 7/7 inward facing rib steel ends. Aside from all of the NYC subsidiaries, several other railroads were clearly paying attention to the trade magazines and adopted this design with identical cars built in significant numbers, primarily by ACF.

Similar 36ft boxcars using the same design mantra were built with either wooden ends, straight frames, or both depending on preferences and service requirements. A straight frame version that matches a design DL&W, C&O, and L&HR used is also included in this V1. 0 release of this mod. I plan on including more versions in future updates.
