Description
First introduced in the late 1970s/early 1980s, this common style of 40’ container was widely used on intermodal trains well into the early 1990s. It featured vertical transitions between the highs and lows of the corrugations and two logo panels on each side. The unique design is very different from modern international containers. The average domestic stack train of that time period contained over 200 containers so this is a must-have container for intermodal modelers.
