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.

Southern Pacific received 1,000 cars from AC&F, Haskel & Barker and Pullman in 1919, class B-50-12, series 26360-27359. The cars were steel sheathed in the late 1940's, class B-50-12a. This model covers cars up to this point. There were only 2 cars on the roster by 1950, and gone by 1953.
-Data from a Westerfield HO Car Kits catalog and Dave Nelson.
