Reading Company Boxcars

Written by Conductor

Reading Co. XMy Boxcar #111211 at Allentown, PA.

Boxcars, or "House Cars" as they were known on the Reading and other roads, were the mainstay of the freight car fleet after hopper cars.  From the early wooden versions to the later welded and insulated cars, the Reading rostered many classes of boxcars in a variety of lengths.  Clicking the links below will open the reference document in a separate window; clicking the camera icon (where available) will display a photo in a separate window.
