During World War II, the U.S. railroads were tasked with transporting vast numbers of troops and supplies to embarkation points. Approximately 44 million troops traveled by train between 1941 and 1945, overwhelming the existing passenger car fleet. The Pullman Company and American Car and Foundry collaborated to convert standard 50'6" boxcars into 2400 troop sleepers, 440 troop kitchen cars, and 60 hospital/kitchen cars to meet this urgent need. Post-war, most of these cars were sold to railroads and leasing companies, who repurposed them into various types of freight cars.
