    Hi Joe...How about producing one of the 60 foot double door express boxcars that the UP Heritage Fleet uses in the consists (UP24364) As far as I have been able to determine, this car has never been produced and should be popular for all those with KATO UP passenger sets, Challengers and E9's. UP apparently has several road numbers in the fleet:
