28' Wooden combination box car built for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad in 1872 by the Central Pacific Shops in Sacramento, CA.
Circa 1872-1880's.
9 tons unloaded; 15 ton capacity
Originally painted yellow, but repainted red by the 1880's
Upgraded to Sams automatic couplers 1897/98; air brakes in 1899/1900; and Tower knuckle couplers in 1902. The ventilated hatches and doors were likely removed around this time.
Converted to Construction Car 6 (2nd) in 1908; becoming a bunk car in 1923 for the bridge and tunnel crew.
Rented to Paramount briefly in 1938 for the movie 'Union Pacific'
The car was detrucked opposite the Reno turntable by May 1949.
After the line closed in May 1950, the body was sold locally.
Carries old west general goods, hay, fruit, and cows.
Link and pin couplers; hand brakes only
Four levels of detail
Based on plans by Michael Collins
