(the title of the article uses "X-29", but the correct PRR notation is "X29"; the article's text uses the correct notation) This article covers the history of switching from wooden box cars to all-steel box cars in the early 1900s, briefly covers the X26, and then delves into the history of the X28 and X29 box cars. Includes many prototype photos.
