This is Walthers 920-102002 HO Santa Fe 50' AAR 2-Door Offset Boxcar #10379. WalthersProto 50' AAR double-door boxcar, ready to run. Santa Fe #10379 (boxcar red, El Capitan slogan). Great for late steam & diesel-era layouts. Prototypes in service 1942-75. The offset-side hopper car had a few advantages over the earlier rib-side type. The crease in the upper sides led to more structural strength without using heavier materials, and there was a greater rated capacity with the side panels riveted to the outside of the ribbing, instead of being on the inside. The efficiency was a boon to the coal merchants! The concept proved successful, and was used to build ever-larger hoppers until after WW II, when rivet pull-through rendered it impractical for modern rotary dumping. Today, although they are seen less frequently, offset-side hoppers remain an important part of railroad history.
