Description
This 50’ standard box car with 10’ single door, no roofwalk and short ladders is brown with white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in the 1960s, this 4,888 cubic-foot capacity boxcar was rebuilt in 1978 and repainted into the large Conrail “can opener” scheme. New York Central merged with its rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad, in 1968 to form Penn Central, which went bankrupt two years later and was merged into Conrail in 1976.
