* SOLD OUT *

This 40' standard box car with single (Youngstown) door is painted box car red with white lettering on sides and ends. It was built in November of 1948 by Northern pacific at the Brainerd MN Shops. It was part of a SP&S second order for 500 cars which were re-lettered in 1957 and received the 5' stepped down billboard letters. In 1905, James Hill announced his intention to build a railroad along the north bank of the Columbia River. This was partly to block the Milwaukee Road and partly to invade Oregon, a territory that belonged almost exclusively to UP and SP. First released in February of 1988.
