This 50’ standard box car with double doors is synthetic red with white and yellow lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1937 at Grand Island, this 50’ boxcar had specific braces and racks installed to safely transport automobiles from manufacturing plants to distribution facilities. Belonging to Class A-50-14 and with a 100,000-pound capacity, this one-of-a-kind car was a test car and used through the 1950s before larger and specialty-designed auto-rack cars came into common use.
