http://www.pacific-western-rail.com/view_product.php?ProductID=170002 hi all Can someone tell me if this ATSF boxcar would have been already in operation in 1959 in the same format large Santa Fe herald and slogan "ship and travel Santa Fe al the way" ? PS Westfalen you mentioned that you have a reference book on atsf boxcars May I ask youif in the book there is any information about this particular boxcar thanks very much for your help
I can't find a photo of that particular car, Santa Fe generally classed double door cars as furniture cars rather than boxcars based on the original use of such cars in the early years. I have another book that may have photos but it is avoiding my attempts to find it at the moment. The boxcar book however has photos of other boxcars in that scheme in 1959 and 1960 so my educated guess would be that it is plausible.
