REA 40ft Express Boxcar

[harryadkins]

This model is a Railway Express Agency reskin of Michael Stephan’s freeware 40ft PS1 Boxcar. The 40ft-PS1 base model can be downloaded at http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/p ... 40ps1.html .

The Railway Express Agency (REA) was a national monopoly set up by the United States federal government in 1917. Rail express services provided small package and parcel transportation using the extant railroad infrastructure much as UPS functions today using the road system. The United States government was concerned about the rapid, safe movement of parcels, money, and goods during World War I and REA was its solution to this problem. REA ceased operations in 1975, when its business model ceased to be viable.

If you have problems, post a message in the support forum at Railworks America. This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
