Although the original 1923 design produced over 60,000 cars, it wasn't until the redesigned 1932 ARA standard was presented that the member railroads gave their unified approval. After extensively testing five prototypes in 1933, more than 14,500 cars were built for twenty-three railroads through the following decade. Distinctive features include the fishbelly side sill, riveted side construction, and 6-foot single-door opening — design hallmarks that distinguish 1932-spec cars from earlier USRA cars and later AAR cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanadian Pacific's 1932 ARA cars saw decades of service hauling everything from grain to manufactured goods, with the last examples in revenue service into the 1970s. The CP scheme on #225027 represents the mid-life paint with the script CP lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate painting and printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction-bearing trucks (prototype-appropriate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted AccuMate® couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1932 ARA 40′ Box Car (Master Line)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canadian Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e CP #225027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1933–1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCouplers:\u003c\/strong\u003e AccuMate® knuckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atlas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50007090\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas 50007127\/8\u003c\/strong\u003e — N CP CNCF 5000 Box Car pair (later-era CP box cars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas 50006475\/76\u003c\/strong\u003e — N CP 50′ Mech Reefer pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45097021210806,"sku":"150-R50007090","price":37.36,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5131\/1286\/files\/57_55095ca4-8cb8-4ae2-b16f-2c3942eb4090.jpg?v=1777515412","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/atlas-50007090-n-scale-master-1932-ara-box-car-canadian-pacific-225027","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
