CRDX “Green Lease 1973” is a “Chicago Freight Car Leasing Company” leasing car that represents a nationwide roamer assigned to various services. It is one of the “plain” cars that our customers ask for; it is important to note that in the 1960s and 1970s, many of the leaser cars were various colors, and not only gray. This CRDX car series was painted green and lasted into the 2010s in original paint.
