This 40' double-sheathed wood box car with single door and vertical brake wheel was built in December 1918 by the American Car & Foundry for the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo’s parent company, New York Central. It was serviced in June 1951 in Hamilton, Ontario where it was painted box car red with white lettering and T.H.B. banner. With the introduction of steel box cars in the 1950s, this series of wood box cars was reassigned to rough freight and lower class merchandise service. The THB found its beginnings in the 1880s CP effort to connect Toronto with the Niagara River. From 1897 the THB was jointly owned by NYC and CP. CP acquired sole control in 1977.
