This 40’ standard box car with plug & sliding door is synthetic red with white lettering and run on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1963 as part of series 111000-111499 this type of car was used by many railroads to transport oversized freight or finished lumber which required double door cars like these to make loading and unloading easier. The plug door allowed for freight to be stacked against it when sealed, unlike sliding doors, allowing for increased capacity.
