This 40’ double-sheath wood box car with single door is painted light gray with black USN logo and lettering. It was serviced in September, 1971 at the U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot in Concord, California, about 35 miles northeast of San Francisco. The morning of April 28, 1973, 18 box cars loaded with bombs began detonating in the Southern Pacific Railroad yard at Roseville, CA, east of Sacramento. It is possible this car was part of the group destroyed in this event, or the less dramatic fate of delegation to home road service evident by its absence from the Official Railway Equipment Registry.
