11014 WAB delivery (loader equipped), GA 50' RBL Sill 1/ 10'6" Offset Door/ Wide Rods
The second series of Wabash cars were built in November 1964, one of the major differences from the previously released cars was the omission of the LD door logo. This series were still equipped with loaders in the form bulkheads noted by the door markings. They received Equipco 3750 handbrakes.
In 1962 General American Corp. started to build their most popular insulated boxcar designs, a refinement of their proven 1950s design. One of the major developments for the car design and unique to General America was it's all welded body construction, where only the roof was bolted on after insulation. These CADILLACs of the boxcar market were insulated, had 20-inch cushioned underframes, and a variety of load restraining devices per customer specifications.
