This 83’ heavyweight modernized business car with balloon roof is yellow with green roof and runs on 6-wheel passenger car trucks. Built in 1925 and named Monte Viso, then in 1926 it was purchased by Baltimore & Ohio and ran as “Capitol Road” until 1948, when it was acquired by Chicago & North Western, numbered “400,” and repainted into the yellow and green scheme. Today, C&NW is now part of Union Pacific, exclusively a freight railroad with over 32,000 miles of track, but prior to 1971, C&NW operated numerous passenger trains and services.
This 83’ heavyweight modernized business car with balloon roof is tuscan red with buff lettering and runs on 4-wheel passenger car trucks. Built in 1927 at the Altoona shops as Class Z74D, this business car was upgraded in 1935 with ice-activated air conditioning and named “Pennsylvania.” It went through several refits over the years and was eventually upgraded with mechanical air conditioning, four staterooms, and a stainless-steel kitchen to serve railroad President J.M. Symes. This car also had the distinction of carrying the body of Robert F. Kennedy from New York to Washington D.C. in 1968.
This 65’ 100-ton log car is black with white lettering and runs on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Built in the 1980’s, this pulpwood log car is owned and operated by Georgia-Pacific Paper Company. Used to transport rough cut logs to paper mills, it features 6 rows of fixed bunks and a 200,000-pound capacity. Georgia-Pacific is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and is one of the largest manufacturers of tissue and paper products and has more than 180 locations across the world.
Micro-Trains - N Scale - 3-Bay Covered Hopper with Elongated Hatches - Farmrail (GNBC) - # 1011
This 3-bay covered hopper with elongated hatches is tan with orange logo and runs on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Lettered for the Grainbelt Corporation, a wholly-owned affiliate of Farmrail Systems, Inc. Formed in the early 1980s, today Farmrail operates over 100 miles of track over ex-BN and SF feeder lines, mainly in Oklahoma, and has connections with BNSF and Union Pacific.
This 39’ single dome tank car is green with white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Owned by General American Transportation Corp. and leased to The Industrial Molasses Corporation, based in Leonia, New Jersey, producer of Molasses for industrial purposes as a binding agent for mineral briquettes, printing pigments, and even tires.
This 50’ standard box car with 10’ single door, no roofwalk and short ladders is green with white and yellow lettering and runs on Roller Bearing trucks. Built in the 1960s, this ex-Seaboard Air Line boxcar was patched for Seaboard Coast Line. Seaboard Air Line was founded in 1900 and existed until 1967 when it merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, forming the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. At its height, it had over 4,000 miles of track across the South.
CSX Transportation was formed through the mergers of Chessie System and Seaboard System, both of which also formed through mergers. It later absorbed roughly half of Conrail, and continues to operate as one of the largest East-coast Class 1 railroads. This 11-car series features prototype-weathered and patched paint schemes representing the major constituent heritage railroads in CSX’s family tree.
