These 40’ standard box cars with single sliding doors and no roofwalks are painted green with white logos and lettering. They were built in June 1945, serviced in August 1969 and run on Bettendorf trucks.

The plan was to add the word NORTHERN below the BURLINGTON, but by the time the merger was consummated, the font had changed to a thinner style, so these cars never received the full merger name.
