Conrail Class B63B Box Cars

Conrail's class B63B box cars comprise the CR 223301-223432 and 223433-223462 series. They were built by Berwick Forge And Foundry in 1978. The internal loader equipment differed originally between the two number series, but the April 2001 Equipment Register shows identical critical dimensions for both series. Interestingly, the side sills also differ between the two series off cars.
