Pacific Electric had an extensive fleet of freight cars--they did a lot of freight business, especially after being acquired by Southern Pacific. I think most of their freight fleet was probably SP equipment, but they also had PE-lettered boxcars. PE made extensive use of box motors for LCL freight.

Canada, eh?
Microscale makes lettering for Pacific Electric single sheathed boxcars. In HO, the set is
87-911 Southern Pacific Single Sheathed Wood 40' Boxcars. In addition to SP and PE, there is lettering for T&NO, SPdeM, EP&SW, AE, and H&WT.
