This Pacific Car & Foundry car was a common site on the rails from the 1960's to 1990's. This type of box cars was cushioned from slack action and had double Youngstown 8 ft doors. The construction and type of doors used on these cars provided a more constant temperature and humidity in the cars for more sensitive goods being transported. These cars served for decades and many were sold by original owners appearing in a variety of interesting schemes.
