Although the original design presented in 1923 produced in excess of 60,000 cars, it wasn’t until a new design was presented in 1932 that the member railroads gave their approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter extensively testing five prototypes in 1933, over 14,500 cars were produced for twenty-three railroads throughout the following decade. This design soon evolved into the 1937, Modified 1937, and Postwar AAR box cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough not the most popular design produced, numerically speaking, the 1932 ARA Standard box car is considered one of the most important designs in railroad history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Model Railroad Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060664799478,"sku":"AHO-20007770","price":30.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/IMG_4470_c15d9c42-b5ad-4768-8a02-0595dbc56071.jpg?v=1773769186","url":"https:\/\/mrmuffinstrains.com\/products\/aho-20007770","provider":"MrMuffin'sTrains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
