This 40' box car with single Superior door is painted reefer orange with black ends, black lettering, herald and large black "Genesee & Wyoming" lettering. One of a one hundred car series, this car runs on black Bettendorf trucks. Genesee & Wyoming was founded more than 100 years ago as a single, 14.5-mile railroad transporting salt from a family-owned mine in western New York state. Today, as Genesee & Wyoming, Inc., (GWI) it is a world-class provider of rail-freight transportation. GWI functions as a holding company with subsidiaries that own and operate regional freight railroads. It owns or has interests in more than 24 railroads in five countries (United States, Canada, Mexico, Bolivia and Australia), and operates over 8,100 miles of owned and leased track and more than 3,000 additional miles under track-access arrangements.
