Micro-Trains (180 00 230) 50' Boxcar Conrail CR 169904

This 50’ standard box car with 10’ single door, no roofwalk and short ladders is green with white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. This boxcar started out as a 40’ car and went through a rebuilding program at the Beech Grove Shops to become a 50’ car. New York Central merged with its rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad, in 1968 to form Penn Central, which went bankrupt two years later and was merged into Conrail in 1976. This car was repainted PC green with Conrail markings that same year.
