| This 50’ auto box car with double
side doors, end doors and wood roofwalk is painted ATSF Mineral
Brown. It bears the 9’ Santa Fe billboard “Circle Cross” herald
with large ‘Cooper Black’ “Santa Fe” font lettering. This car
runs on black Bettendorf trucks. The double door FE-29 was first
built by the Santa Fe Topeka Shops in 1952 and repainted at San
Bernardino in December of 1972. In 1959, the 9’ billboard “Circle/cross”
herald became the norm. “FE” was the Santa Fe class designation
for furniture cars long after the original furniture cars had
disappeared. This designation continued in use for automobile
box cars; large cars with main and auxiliary side doors and/or
full opening end doors for handling extra-large loads, furniture
and auto parts. |
