Micro-Trains - Z Scale - 50 ft. Standard Box Car - Illinois Central (IC) #523090 (SKU 489-505000202)

Available On: August 1, 2013

 
This 50’ standard box car with single sliding door is painted orange with the black and white ‘split I’ logo and black lettering. It was built in July 1953, serviced in May 1971, and runs on Bettendorf trucks. The Illinois Central Railroad was chartered in 1851 to build a railroad from Cairo, IL, to Galena, IL. In 1972 the Illinois Central merged with the parallel Gulf Mobile & Ohio to form Illinois Central Gulf. By 1990 the road was a trimmed and rationalized Chicago-to-Gulf railroad; it was returned to individual shareholders and operational management. The name Illinois Central Railroad was restored.
