This 53' boxcar was manufactured in the 1960s and '70s by Evans Company and was used primarily to haul produce, wood and paper products, and canned goods. The prototype is an insulated RBL featuring a 16 foot opening and double plug doors.
This special 2-Pack of Commemorative Evans 53’ Double Plug Door Box Cars is the final release of specially painted Wisconsin & Southern freight cars. Dedicated to the day we will never forget – September 11, 2001 – these cars are an accurate and lasting tribute to one of the bleakest moments in recent United States history. The prototype cars continue to ply the rails in everyday service, offering a grim reminder of that day 10 years ago. A donation to a 9/11 charity fund will be made for each 2-pack sold.
