Built in 1969,
this 40’ high cube boxcar with Roller Bearing trucks was used
in an appliance shipping capacity. Founded in 1859, the Chicago
& North Western quickly grew into a large Class 1 railroad
headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. C&NW is now part of
Union Pacific, exclusively a freight railroad with over 32,000
miles of track, but prior to 1971, C&NW operated numerous
passenger trains and services.
