This 89 bi-level open auto
rack consists of a PC green auto rack on a box car red Trailer Train flatcar with
black and white Penn Central logo placard and white lettering, and runs on black
Barber® Roller bearing trucks. Open rack cars such as this gradually became
extinct due to the problems with damage and vandalism while in transit. However,
these cars were greatly responsible for securing a vast amount of the automobile
delivery traffic that had been previously lost during the boxcar era.
