These are new repaints of the old Northern Pacific 36 foot box car set, released in 11-2012, with some minor alterations to the shape. Lost a fair amount of polygons.

A photo of C&PS boxcars loading up at a Tacoma, Washington, U.S.A., pipe factory, the inspiration. The photo was on ebay for sale. The Columbia & Puget Sound RR later became the Pacific Coast Railroad, later becoming part of the Burlington Northern.(not to be confused with the Pacific Coast RailWAY in California). The original intention of the line was to connect the two name sakes in an west-east direction toward the Columbia River, but that's another story, involving Henry Villard, that a quick search will uncover.

The Readplease text has more history and tech stuff about the build; credits, legal stuff.

Oh, and wag files are the same as the original, with 2012-MSTS values.
