Railroad box cars are perhaps not only the best-recognized freight car to operate of all time, but also one of the most identifiable symbols of the railroad industry itself. Overall, the car dates back to the earliest years of the industry when railroads realized that some freight needed protection from the elements. However, after the turn of the 20th century, the car truly became an industry icon. Through the 1960s the box car was used to haul almost every type of non-bulk traffic (like coal, aggregates, chemicals, etc.). However, as time went on, railroads began to realize that, predominantly through shippers' complaints, more specialized cars were needed to haul particular types of freight which led to the development of the well car, autorack, refrigerator car, and others. Box cars however, still have their uses today especially in carrying bulky items like autoparts. By the 1980s the 40-foot boxcar gave way to the 50-footer, which further improved redundancies by allowing for even more space within a given car, which today remains the common box car size.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDiagonal panel roof\u003cbr\u003eImproved dreadnaught ends\u003cbr\u003e9' Youngstown door\u003cbr\u003e50-ton friction bearing trucks with Accumate couplers\u003cbr\u003eCrisp painting and printing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
