Built
in 1978, this 50 boxcar with Roller Bearing trucks was leased
from Helm Leasing to Chessie System in 1985, and featured Damage
Free Loaders and Hennessey Door Openers. Chessie System was formed
through the 1972 mergers of Chesapeake & Ohio, Baltimore &
Ohio, and Western Maryland. It remained one of the largest East
coast railroads until 1986 when Seaboard System merged with Chessie
to form todays rail giant, CSX Transportation.
