Introduction

Athearn RTR 1846 HO Scale 50′ Evans Double Door Boxcar Ralston Purina RPCX 207

A boxcar is the term for a railroad car that is enclosed and generally used to carry freight. The boxcar, while not the simplest freight car design, is considered one of the most versatile since it can carry most loads. Boxcars have side sliding doors of varying size and operation, and some include end doors and adjustable bulkheads to load very large items.

Founded as U.S. Railway Equipment, or U.S. Railway Manufacturing, the name was changed to Evans Railcar Manufacturing in 1964. Evans Products Freight Cars built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s were plentiful in the 1990s and many EP Freight Cars are still around.
