This 40’ Hy-Cube
box car with sliding door is painted green with white Burlington
Northern logo and lettering. It was built in November 1967,
serviced in June 1975 and runs on Barber® Roller Bearing
trucks. Mini Hy-Cubes were specifically designed for use in
large appliance service and were assigned to specific appliance
corporations: Whirlpool, Admiral, Philco, etc. This lot of 50
cars is fitted with twin Equipco load dividers. The mini hi-cube
phase was short lived, and was quickly overshadowed by longer
and bigger cars.
