Great Northern Interchanged Cars
Revised 4/6/01
Great Northern cars were a rarity on ATSF trains. But here are a couple that would appear occasionally.
Express Box
My model
GN had unique 12 panel 40' Box Cars. Intermountain has produced models of this car and they are available as kits and ready-to-run. Their kit #41010 is painted for the later paint scheme than the above. The car above is an earlier paint scheme, circa 1950, and was custom painted Pullman Green with Microscale 87-571 decals.
Express Reefers
As members of the REA express reefer pool, GN cars would be seen nearly anywhere in the railway system. These included:
50' suf Class BR, #1900-1931
44' suf Class BR, #1950-1979
50' suf Class BR, #2000-2089
50' suf Class BR, #2090-2139
I am still looking for photos of these cars.
