  This 50' box car with single Youngstown doors is painted box car brown with large, white 'Route of the 400' and 'The Streamliners' and white lettering. Built in May of 1957 by Mt. Vernon Car Manufacturing Company, it runs on black Bettendorf trucks. The well known 'Ball and Bell' emblem of the C&NW first appeared in 1885. During the 1940s it initiated the famous '400's, named so because in 1935, C&NW had an advertisement that said: "From Chicago to Twin Cities (Minneapolis, St. Paul), Not more than 400 miles, Not more than 400 Minutes!!!", which became the 400, a well-known C&NW trademark
