PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The Standard Heavyweight passenger cars are based upon a design built by
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company for the Central Railroad of New Jersey
(CNJ) in the early 1920’s. Standard Heavyweight Passenger Cars were
different than any other rolling stock in the type of cargo that it carried...
people. Used in mainline passenger car service, Heavyweight Passenger Cars
were considered the ultimate in luxury travel throughout the first half
of the twentieth century. Many times, the interiors of the cars were elegantly
decorated with plush seating, antique lighting, and other such amenities.STANDARD
