Description
Union Pacific w/plane load Rd# 161109
Built in 1938, this A-50-15-class automobile boxcar with Bettendorf trucks, featured end doors for easy loading and unloading of vehicles. Sometimes these cars could be seen carrying other, and occasionally, odd commodities. In this case, an aircraft fuselage. Union Pacific continues to operate today as one of the largest Class 1 railroads in North America with over 32,000 miles of track.
