About the Prototype
In the 1930s, railroads began building passenger cars from stainless steel and aluminum rather than heavy riveted steel or wooden bodies. These lighter cars cost less to build and operate, were easier to maintain, rode more smoothly, and held up better over time.
The smooth-side design was used by many North American railroads on their high-priority streamlined express trains and remained in common service until the mid-1970s. Today, smooth-side cars often run on excursion trains, and some still serve as commuter or corporate business cars.
