During the Second World War the railroads had to move millions of servicemen, and there were nowhere near enough passenger cars to do it. The answer was the troop car: a boxcar underframe with a body built for people, turned out in the thousands by Pullman-Standard and ACF. After the war they were sold off and spent decades in maintenance-of-way and express service, which is why they still turn up on layouts set well past 1945.
