Built for a Seaboard heritage railroad, this 50’ boxcar with Barber Roller Bearing trucks was last serviced in 1984, before making its way to CSX and getting a reporting mark patch. Seaboard Air Line was founded in 1900 and existed until 1967 when it merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, forming the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. At its height, it had over 4,000 miles of track across the South.

CSX Transportation was formed through the mergers of Chessie System and Seaboard System, both of which also formed through mergers. It later absorbed roughly half of Conrail, and continues to operate as one of the largest East-coast Class 1 railroads. This 11-car series features prototype-weathered and patched paint schemes representing the major constituent heritage railroads in CSX’s family tree. 

Referred to as “Super Duty” cars, they join the growing fleet of “Plate F cars providing higher capacities for shippers looking to streamline their deliveries. Our model will feature fine mold detail and micro-fine printing, separate end ladders and brake rod detail, etched-metal brake platforms and painted underframe. The car will also have correct ride height with body-mounted couplers and all-new 36” metal wheels!
