This
40’ standard box car with single sliding door and freight load
is painted UP synthetic red with Armour Yellow logo and slogan,
as well as yellow lettering. It was built in May 1940, serviced
in July 1960, and runs the Northwestern District on Bettendorf
trucks. Union Pacific constructed a 1500-car fleet of the B-50-27
class in 1940. UP 190579 was built in the Grand Island Shops in
May 1940, numbered into the 190000-196599 series and remained
in interchange service for 30 years; however, there were a variety
of paint schemes. Based on the use of the specific stenciling
elements, this exact paint scheme would have been applied from
1958 through 1962.
