This 60’ excess height box car with double
plug doors and waffle sides is painted box car red with white logo
and lettering;
it also bears white excess height masks on the ends with black lettering. It was
built in December
1978 by Berwick Forge & Fabricating and runs on Barber
Roller Bearing trucks. It is built with exterior posts and
dual eight-foot
Youngstown plug Doors. It has end-of-car cushioning and “waffle” pattern side
panels indicating
internal belt rails allowing for a speedy damage free delivery.
This design came about in answer to the need to
accommodate use of automated
loading devices such as fork lifts and the stacking of tall appliance crates.
The
excess height enabled maximum use of space with fewer cars needed for
a shipment. | Back
