The Evans 53 Double Plug Door (DPD) box car was manufactured
during the 1960s and 1970s by Evans Products. Commonly used for
transporting lumber and paper goods, the RBL (AAR class for an
insulated bunkerless refrigerator car with loading devices) classification
also allowed for the transport of canned goods and other food
products. The double 8 doors eased the loading and unloading
process of large cargo.
Due to their versatility the Evans DPD box car remained in service
for many decades.
