Description
This 50’ double door boxcar with Roller Bearing trucks was built at the DuBois, PA car shop in 1960. It was class M-69b and belonged to series 471450-471749. It was shopped and re-painted in 1972. Chessie System was formed through the 1972 mergers of Chesapeake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, and Western Maryland. It remained one of the largest East coast railroads until 1986 when Seaboard System merged with Chessie to form today’s rail giant, CSX Transportation.
