Description
This 40’ standard box car with single door, full ladders and no roofwalk is brown with black ends and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1941 for New York Central’s P&LE subsidiary, and later rebuilt into Baltimore & Ohio’s B-6 car class, it served B&O into the 1970s before retirement. Baltimore & Ohio was the oldest common carrier railroad in the United States, founded in 1830. After numerous mergers, it became a part of CSX Transportation where its heritage lives on today.
