SP To Convert
2,500 Cars
To Wide Door
Northwest plywood and other
forest products industries got
good news for 1964 from the
Southern Pacific today.
A. W. Kilborn, SP superin
tendent, Portland, announced to
the Pacific Northwest Advisory
Thursday that Southern Pacific
plans to convert an additional
2,500 standard box cars to wide
door design, which together with
the purchase of 960 new cars,
will add 3,460 units to SP's wide
door fleet during 1964.
Shipper demand for wide door
cars is heavy because they can
be used more readily for me
chanical loading and unloading.
Southern Pacific, in the first
big scale effort by any rcilroad
to widen the doors of conven
tional box cars, last year con
verted 1,250 older single door
cars to wide door design, espe
cially for plywood and forest
products shippers in the Northwest.
"Our plans to double this pro
gram this year," Kilborn said
"are based on the enthusiastic
approval given this equipment
by Northwest industries." The
new equipment, he added, will
increase SP s fleet to wide door
cars to more than 23,000
cars. "By the end of 1964," Kil
born said, "just about every oth-
