Initially, a land holding company, laid a firm foundation as it leased land to railways being created throughout the South with the first one operating by 1853. Eventually, like many railroads in the late 1800s, succumbed to financial pressures and eventually were handed over and would become the base of the Southern Pacific while they continued a nationwide expansion from California North to Oregon, East to Louisiana and South into Mexico. All during this railroad boom, Southern Pacific was innovating refrigerated box cars allowing California's infamous oranges and other fresh produce so it could successfully be transported to the Eastern United States. These Hydra-Cushion box cars were created in the 1950s, and one of the leading costs was upon receipt of goods being damaged in transport. To solve the issue, shock-absorbing couplers to hydraulically cushion the loads, were fitted to thousands of boxcars, while initially developed to greatly reduce damage, not only to the goods but also extending the life of these innovative boxcars. These boxcars ran regularly from 1955-1975 and could be seen being pulled by 1st and 2nd generation diesel locomotives or late steam. These highly detailed and authentically liveried box cars are made using high-quality construction materials and come equipped with knuckle couplers and metal road wheels, featuring sliding doors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
