Built June of 1956, this 50’ box car with single door is dark box car red with white lettering on sides and ends. A combination of the red flag herald, and the red slogan ’Follow the Flag’ within a large white heart, make up the logo. ’Serving the Heart of America’ phrase was used on box cars in the early 40s. The Wabash had a route between Buffalo and Kansas with branches to Omaha, St. Louis and Chicago. The Wabash merged with the Norfolk and Western on October 16, 1964. The term ‘Cannonball’, originally a passenger train between Detroit and St. Louis, is synonymous with the road that urged everyone to ‘Follow the Flag’
