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.

The 19188-21187 group of 1000 cars started to hit the rails in February 1940 and the final cars were finished by June of that year.
