Introduction

Bachmann 72315 HO Scale 34′ Old Time Wood Boxcar Union Pacific UP 40316 (Fruit Car)

Boxcars have been a staple of freight railroading since the earliest days of rail operation. Providing a dry, enclosed space suitable for the transportation of any number of commodities such as foods, lumber, tools, and more, early wood-sheathed boxcars were instrumental in the economic development of the west. This early steam era boxcar will look excellent with Bachmann’s 4-4-0 American steam locomotives.
