This 50’ rib side box car with plug doors is painted brown with yellow herald and reflectors and white lettering. It was built in April 1967, serviced in August 1987, and runs on Roller Bearing trucks. The original Wisconsin Central Railroad Company was established February 1871. It later became a component of the SOO Line in 1961. In 1987, the lines were sold to a new company who decided to re-use the Wisconsin Central name and logo. The new WC became one of the most successful regional railroads in the country. The WC line was upgraded to accommodate Canadian National traffic which proved so successful that in October of 2001 the CN purchased the WC and assumed total control of the operations.
