Pullman-Standard built over one million freight cars and decorated several over the years commemorating various milestones. This car commemorates the 85,000th PS-1 built since 1946, which was one quarter of all the boxcars built at the time. Founded in the late 1860s, Pullman-Standard became the nation’s largest manufacturer of freight and passenger cars by the 1930s and continued to produce freight cars until 1968.
