Description
Pennsylvania Railroad rebuilt 40’ boxcars in the late 1950s to extend their service life amid a boxcar shortage. Later, after being merged into Penn Central, they received new PC green paint in the late 1960s. This car was outfitted with a variation of the Penn Central logo, in white and red paint, with Bettendorf trucks. Penn Central was formed through the merger of Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central, and operated until 1976 when it was rolled into Conrail Corporation.
