David Larrabee	General	That is a classic. Looks in qiute good shape too! /DL	8/13/2013 1:32:16 PM

Stu Nicholson	General	I imagine it would be difficult to trace whatever happen to this boxcar through the old Conrail records. It would have made a nice piece for a rail museum restoration project. That heavy-guage, riveted steel looks like it held up as well as the paint.	8/13/2013 1:58:57 PM

Kyle Edwards	General	This is just plain awesome. Incredible photo and find, Mr Nicholson. Thanks for posting!!	8/13/2013 3:09:45 PM

Stu Nicholson	General	Thanks for giving it a look. I've been going through some old slides I took back in the 70's , 80's and 90's and scanning them to digital.	8/13/2013 4:43:51 PM

Fred Stuckmann	General	I've set stem winders on boxcars, what a pain they are. Great shot sir.	8/14/2013 7:37:30 AM

Porking out its last years in MOW service. This old Pennsy boxcar was still in pretty good shape.1924 design X29 class boxcar. Pennsy also had a 1928 design. All told Pennsy had more than 29,000 of them built. The second most numerous boxcar of it's time qeriod. N.Y.C. had something in the area of 32,000 boxcars built to it's design. In a similar time period. They were the "per dium" boxcar of that time period.
