This is Bowser 55355 40'R/Roof/DD AD&N/Green. The PRR Class X-31 box cars had a novel roof design named the round roof or wagon top. By curving the roof sheets to meet the eave bar vertically (leaving a 4 inset on the edge) the cars had an inside height of 10'. The X-31's were used primarily to transport new automobiles or auto parts. The majority of X-31's were first built in January 1933. In 1935, the roof of the X-31 was redesigned with a new inside height of 10' 5 in the center and 10' at the sides. The external appearance changed with the roof sheets overlapping the side sheets at the eaves. This gave a flush appearance to the roof as compared to the inset of the original design. By 1936, the single-door X-31A had replaced the X-29 as the general service box car. The X-31's were used on the Pennsy throughout the 1940s, 50s and the mid 60s.
