Elvas Tower: Ma & Pa USRA 50-TON,40-ft Single-Sheathed Boxcar #800 - Elvas Tower

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.

Ma & Pa did not have any of these cars, but this repaint was done after requested to do so. So, here it is for your enjoyment. It looks believable....;o)
