WP® is a registered trademark of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Built in the early 1950s, this 40’ boxcar with Bettendorf trucks belonged to a series of 25 cars and were later painted in the red and yellow “The Western Way” serif paint scheme after being serviced in the 1960s. Western Pacific was a Class 1 Railroad formed in 1903 in order to offer another rail option to the established Utah routes of the Southern Pacific. WP was acquired in 1982 by Union Pacific Railroad.
