This 50’ standard box car with Youngstown door is painted
dark green with a horizontal white stripe across the sides and
doors. The car displays the Monad logo, “Scenic Route of
the Vista Dome” lettering, the arched “Northern Pacific
lettering and runs on black Bettendorf trucks. Originally, these
50’ single door cars built by NP in October 1950 were part
of series 31000-31499. Some from this group were converted into
“DF” service by the Northern Pacific at Brainerd in
1954-1956 and painted into NP’s dark green with the “DF”
medallion on the door advertising the accommodations for their
shippers. They were re-numbered into the 1100-1295 series.
