Box Cars are the workhorses of the railroad, economically moving dry goods and bulk freight from coast to coast, and from factories to distributors everywhere in-between. From the early to mid 20th century, the 40' Box Car was the standard size offered by most major railcar manufacturers. Useful for hauling both long-distance bulk shipments and smaller mixed loads for local deliveries, the type remains one of the most iconic freight cars in American history.

In 1940, the Santa Fe Railway began painting freight cars as rolling advertisements. Refrigerator cars, box cars, and auto cars were decorated with a system map on one side and train name slogans on the other. Bachmann is pleased to present this 40’ Box in five map paint schemes.
