This 40’ double-sheathed wood box car with single door is white with black lettering and runs on Andrews trucks. The Stark Brothers Fruit Company has been around since 1816 and its famous black bear logo was as common as a famous cola company artwork during the early 1900s.  Transporting fruit, fruit products and even wine from Louisiana to Missouri, the company was lauded by the likes of Luther Burbank for their efforts to protect growers by sponsoring legislation in the 1930’s allowing them to patent their unique varieties.
