This
50 standard box car with 10 single door, no roofwalk
and short ladders is green with white lettering and runs on
Bettendorf trucks. This boxcar started out as a 40 car
and went through a rebuilding program at the Beech Grove Shops
to become a 50 car. New York Central merged with its rival,
the Pennsylvania Railroad, in 1968 to form Penn Central, which
went bankrupt two years later and was merged into Conrail in
1976. This car was repainted PC green with Conrail markings
that same year.
