The X-26 was a 40' 50-ton single sheathed USRA boxcar with a capacity of 100,000lbs.  The Government ordered 100,000 of them during WWI, of which 9,900 went to the PRR starting in 1919.  Following WWII nearly all were rebuilt into all steel cars.

During 1945-1949 the PRR rebuilt 3,500 X-26 cars into the X-26c boxcar.

Cappilot,

   Ron here is one that went to the WAG RR in the Potter/Tioga mountains.  It's an Atlas product also.  I now have 4 of these, however Atlas only produced 2 Road numbers of the old WAG Box Cars.

Crown also made a custom run of a Couple WAG Box Cars also, Pretty nice stuff but not as nice as the Atlas with their Super Detail.

Both the Atlas and the Crown made are pretty cool stuff, the WAG RR was very small, it serviced the Leather industry and Logging of the Pa mountains along Rt #6 thru the Pa Grand Canyon and up into Elmira, NY.   Having both these companies choose to make the WAG Box Cars was IMO fantastic!  My Great -Grandfather was one of the Engineers who actually pulled these Box Cars behind the Engines he drove up thru the Pa & NY mountains.  A part of RR story now long gone.

Doesn’t the above dog look a little like Briansilvermustang’s dog?
