Starting in the mid 1950’s the AAR design was adapted to create a plug door, insulated boxcar. These cars could be used to carry food products or other perishable commodities where temperature control was important but where refrigeration was not required. Typically these cars had 8/8 panel riveted sides, a roughly eight foot door opening (there were some variations of an inch or two) straight side sills and overhanging diagonal panel roofs. These cars were built for roads nationwide and painted in fairly colorful paint schemes.
