Conrail and the D&H split the quantities of the ex-EL GA RBLs. Once the EL came into the CR fold, the D&H exploded in size in route miles and rolling stock. These cars were some of the first full repaints after Conrail for the revitalized D&H. Even though roofwalks had been band since 1967 for new car builds and outlawed on existing equipment, the Oneonta Shops left the roofwalks on the D&H 28122.

In 1962 General American Corp. started to build their most popular insulated boxcar designs, a refinement of their proven 1950s design. One of the major developments for the car design and unique to General America was it's all welded body construction, where only the roof was bolted on after insulation. These CADILLACs of the boxcar market were insulated, had 20-inch cushioned underframes, and a variety of load restraining devices per customer specifications.
