This
40 standard box car with single door is painted aluminum with black
logo and lettering. It was built in June 1935 and runs on black Bettendorf
trucks. In 1903, the Western Pacific Railway was incorporated to build
a Railroad between Salt Lake City and San Francisco. The last spike
was driven in 1909 on the Spanish Creek Trestle at Keddie, CA. The new
road had no branches to feed it, as a result the WP Railway entered
bankruptcy in 1915. The WP Railway was sold in 1916 and reorganized
as the Western Pacific Railroad. The WP joined the UP and the MP in
a 3-way merger in 1983. Today it has several branches in CA and operates
subsidiaries Sacramento Northern, Tidewater Southern and Alameda Belt
railroads.
