50' Railbox Boxcar

The KY&N 31000-series boxcars were delivered in the late summer of 1974 and were used in a variety of services nation wide.

I picked up a pair of these Athearn Railbox Boxcars at a flea market in Fayetteville, WV for $10. This boxcar design made their debut right around the same timeframe I model, so of course I made use of them.

Both cars are painted Hunter Green with Sunrise Yellow on the doors. I don't have the road name or the shield printed yet, so these cars will set for a couple months after the data is completed on both sides of each.
