A few years after the Department of the Air Force was established on September 18, 1947, a group of these 40 standard box cars with single door were built by Pullman Standard under government contract. Painted Strata Blue with markings in white on sides and ends, these cars carried military materials. After its life on the rails, #26477 was used for storage at the Hill Air Force Base Museum near Ogden, Utah for many years. It is now at the Utah State Railroad Museum in Ogden. The U.S. Air Force operates railroad lines at certain installations but today most rail shipments are replaced by air or truck.
