              | This 50’ 
                standard box car with plug door is painted Armour yellow with 
                aluminum roof and ends. It was built in August 1963 and runs on 
                Barber Roller Bearing trucks. The UP “Automated Railway” map design 
                was approved in 1962 to project an image of modern safety and 
                efficiency resulting from the UP’s newly installed system of automated 
                operational controls. The “Automated” map was applied only to 
                smooth side boxcars and autocars to high light their cushion load 
                underframes. Even though the UP “We can Handle It” slogan replaced 
                the “Automated Railway” in 1970, many cars with the attractive 
                map design remained running on the system. With the formation 
                of the Union Pacific Corporation in 1969 the word“Railroad” was 
                dropped from the UP Shield in 1970. |
