Introduction

Exactrail Platinum EP80918-6 HO Scale PS 5344 Boxcar Norfolk Southern NS 450745

The Pullman name is iconic. Arguably the greatest of rolling stock manufacturers, recognition of the Pullman name transcends the railcar industry and the borders where these railcars traveled.

The P-S 5344 boxcar is the last successful boxcar project from the Pullman-Standard company. With production beginning in 1977, Pullman-Standard produced nearly 7,000 P-S 5344 Box Cars. In 1981, Pullman moved to sell all railroad assets in an economy of declining freight car sales. However, these cars ply the rails in a legacy of Americas great car builder.

The last of a breed.
