This 50’ standard steel box car Troop Sleeper is painted Pullman green with black roof and lettered in Dulux imitation gold. It was built in 1943 by Pullman Standard and runs on Allied Full Cushion trucks. In late 1941 the Defense Plant Corporation contracted with Pullman Standard to build 2,400 troop sleeping cars. Each troop car slept 29-30 passengers and one Pullman porter. After the war they were sold by the government for bargain basement prices to railroads that converted them to a wide variety of uses ranging from cabooses to baggage cars to Railway Post Offices.
