From the publisher:The 1932 ARA standard box car was the watershed event in the design of house cars in North America. While the 1932 ARA standard car has lived in the shadow of the 1937 AAR box car an...d its subsequent iterations, it was the box car that design that changed the course of box car engineering and set the tone for house car design for decades. In addition, this design was developed and approved under the guidance of the Car Construction Committee of the ARA. This genesis of the design, and subsequent acceptance by almost every Class One railroad in North America, either in the 1932 ARA or 1937 AAR forms, demonstrated that the railroads could attain consensus on standardization not only in theory, but in the reality of concrete orders for cars built to the design.
