Introduction

Exactrail Platinum EP82001-1 HO Scale 3898 Ribside Boxcar Milwaukee Road “Hiawatha 1939” MILW 19002

Built in the golden years when the railroad designed and engineered its own rolling stock, Milwaukee’s rib side box car is easily one of the most prolific and recognizable signature cars of all time.

The Milwaukee Road’s Rib Side boxcar is a platinum quality model that includes full-length rib profiles which have been meticulously recreated and hand-etched wood grain for perfect weight and tone. Complete with panel type camel doors, 5-5 dreadnaught ends and precision detailed lumber door, ExactRail’s Milwaukee Rib Side Box Car is an exclusive replica to please enthusiasts and collectors alike.

These cars were part of a small order of 83 ribside boxcars that were delivered in September of 1939. Numbering from 19000-19082, they were the first new 40 foot ribsides built by the Milwaukee Road. This group of cars were built with wood running boards and were equipped with Universal hand brakes.
