This
40’ standard box car with single door is painted blue with cream-colored
door, white stripe and red buzz saw logo.
It was built in 1925 and serviced in October 1951. It runs on
Bettendorf trucks. Seven hundred box cars from this lot
were taken at random from three car series: among which one is
the series 46000-46999. In 1951 and 1952 they
were rebuilt by Missouri Pacific, and converted into Eagle Merchandise
Service. They were stenciled with the mechanical designation XME,
“For merchandise service on MP Lines only”.
