PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

Box cars were the freight car of choice for grain transportation from the early 1900s until they were replaced by covered hoppers beginning in the 1970s. In the 1950s and 1960s before grain hoppers were used, railroads used 40’ box cars to haul grain. Many of these 40’ grain loading box cars lasted well into the 1980s and 1990s.
