The IPD program, authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission to encourage new boxcar production, allowed freight car owners to charge an additional fee when leasing their rolling stock to other railroads. Many shortline and regional operators jumped at this opportunity, and the bulk of these new cars were ordered by small and relatively unknown railroads. Today, the 50'6\" boxcar continues to be a mainstay of freight consists, and while most are now maintained by specialized leasing companies or class one railroads, many continue to display the liveries of their original shortline owners - reflecting a curious and colorful era in freight railroading history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures Include\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic ACF design; similar boxcars constructed by other builders\u003cbr\u003eDetailed, painted bodies with precision graphics\u003cbr\u003eOperating 10-foot corrugated sliding doors\u003cbr\u003eDetailed interior floor and underframe\u003cbr\u003eOptional tack boards for pre-1980s operation included (assembly required)\u003cbr\u003eSeparately applied brake wheel\u003cbr\u003eMagnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers\u003cbr\u003eDetailed trucks with see-through sideframes\u003cbr\u003eBlackened metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003cbr\u003eAdded weight for optimum tracking\u003cbr\u003eProduct Measurements: L 7.5 in., W 1.5 in., H 2 in.\u003cbr\u003eRetail Package Measurements: L 10 in., W 1.75 in., H 3.5 in.","brand":"Bachmann Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42994794168383,"sku":"BAC-14913-PRE","price":5.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/14913.jpg?v=1773169893","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/preorder-bachmann-trains-ho-14913-506-outside-braced-sliding-door-box-car-pam-am-31993","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
