St. Louis Southwestern (SSW) Brown Delivery 1951+ shows off another original paint scheme, this time for Southern Pacific’s St. Louis Southwestern (“The Cotton Belt Route”) subsidiary.  Delivered in 1951, these cars featured the sharp “Blue Streak Fast Freight” lightning bolt graphics “underneath” the classy “Cotton Belt Route” herald, proving that the transition era really was a high point in railroad graphic design!  The details on the car include a 7-panel Superior door, a Morton style running board and brake step, 8 rung side and end ladders, an accurate Universal handbrake housing, and a Universal handbrake.  Our Cotton Belt original paint replicas are available  – and keep in mind this was SP Line’s most prolific 40’ box car type.  Collect them all!
