This 40’ box car with single door, tall ladders and no roofwalk is painted red with white billboard logos and lettering. It was built in December 1954 and serviced in July 1971 and runs on roller bearing trucks.

    MKT owned an ammunitions plant located on-line in McAlester, OK; the rebuilt cars were assigned to this plant, connecting with US Naval and Army storage facilities in Northern California. The extra large billboard “MKT” paint scheme was intended to alert all railroads of their dangerous load from great distances.
