This
B-29 class plug-door boxcar with Barber Roller Bearing trucks
was built in 1967 and featured a cushioned underframe and an
internal capacity of 4,640 cubic feet. Western Marlyand, Chesapeake
& Ohio, and Baltimore & Ohio merged in 1972 to form
Chessie System. It remained one of the largest East Coast railroads
until 1986 when Seaboard System merged with Chessie to form
today's rail giant, CSX Transportation.
