40’ standard box car with single door is blue and yellow with aluminum roof and
white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. The Baltimore & Ohio “Time-Saver
Service” was a high-speed Less-than-Carload service, and this special scheme was
applied to about a dozen cars between 1950 and 1955. Less-than-Carload service
was big business in the 1950s, before long haul trucks and other delivery service
networks became more developed. |
