This
light box car red 30’ box car has the large, white circle Southern
Pacific Coast “Sunset Route” logo and runs on brown Diamond Arch
Bar trucks. Originally built for the Oregonian Railroad as #102,
SPC 368 came to South Pacific Coast in 1899 and was scrapped in
1906. This car was typical of the standard 10-ton Carter Brothers
narrow gauge box car. Numbers 92,104-176 & 288-336 were the
unique 28’ Carter combination box/stock cars, originally used
as ventilated box cars for fruit. The first lettering scheme was
an 8’ diameter sunburst logo that read South Pacific Coast. Sometime
after 1888 when S.P. purchased South Pacific Coast, the logo was
changed to read “Southern Pacific Company”. (The Reporting Marks
stayed the same.) |
