The United States Railway Administration took over the railroads in December 1917 in an
attempt to ease the freight car shortage. As part of the program it designed standard cars,
had them built and assigned them to the various railroads. 25,000 single
sheathed cars were built between 1918 and 1920 and assigned to 26 roads. Too late to aid in the war effort,
the design set a standard for the following decade.

Norfolk & Western received 800 cars from Pullman in March 1919, class BK, series 120000. The Railroad had 95 cars by 1950, down to just 11 by 1953. Did not survive the mid-fifties.

-Data from a Westerfield HO Car Kits catalog and Dave Nelson.
